Partman crashes with "Partman failed with exit code 141" while installing Intrepid from daily-live oct 13

[Jags Desai]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

While installing Intrepid from Oct 13, '08 Daily-live, when I select 'MANUAL' under 'Prepare disk space', I get following error message:

:::::
Partman crashed

Partman failed with exit code 141. Further information may be found in /var/log/syslog. Do you want to try running this step again before continuing? If you do not, your installation may fail entirely or may be broken.

[Quit] [Continue anyway] [Try again]
:::::

I'm getting the same error on (1) 'Install without changing anything' & (2) 'Install Ubuntu' options.

Screenshot attached. - jags

I guess the bug(s) only affects 'Daily-Live' as I just installed 'Daily' (text base installer) successfully.

[Klusek (tom-110)]

Daily-live build from oct 14 have the same bug.

[Matteo Collina (matteo-collina)]

Same bug on an asus laptop. I've built my iso with unetbootin, can that cause this problem?

[futurefx (force)]

Same bug with daily 15, i included log too.

[Christoph Reiter (lazka)]

same here.

beta works.. todays daily doesn't.
