ubiquity crashed with NameError in _realpath_root_recurse()

[Martin Pitt]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

On the desktop amd64 20070924 I ran ubiquity in OEM mode with manual partitioning. Installation was almost at the end, then it just crashed.

Partition layout:
  /dev/sda1 -> swap
  /dev/sda2 -> root (reiserfs)
  /dev/sda3 -> /home (xfs)

(different file systems just for fun)

An installation with default partitioning worked fine.

Since the crash happens so late, the installed system works fine. However, you get a crash notification and the 'reboot now' message is missing.
