systeminstaller has been deprecated since jaunty, assigning this to the current equivalent. What version are you trying to update to Trusty from? If you're too many versions back, you may have to do the update in steps. Take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for some information on what you can upgrade to what.

No update. Tried to install into empty partition. I did not know
which package was responsible. 'system installer' seemed to be generic
enough:) Kernel bug in installer. Mint works in
same computer with nouveau driver.

No. Latest daily, downloaded 4 hours ago, worked normally. Sorry for
delay. It is not my computer. This bug can be closed.

I also tested NV20 [GeForce3 Ti 200] (=goog enough for open arena).
Languages in installer language selection did not show. Otherwise
normal. Could be bug in Nouveau.
