Bug Description
This time I tried to install Lubuntu Next using as much default settings as possible (for example New York time and language). I used Manual partitioning, reused /dev/sda1 and formatted it. Otherwise it matches bug # 1780977 (where I tried Stockholm time and language (Swedish))
Installation failed
Boost.Python error in job "machineid".

I can't reproduce this, and I've sent it upstream to confirm that this isn't something wrong with my settings, but my hunch is that you didn't format your drives correctly and it was just mounted read-only.
That being said, some extra verification should be added upstream, so let's wait for a comment from them.
Thanks.
