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.

There appears to be a traceback in the file var-log-installer-debug.txt

i think this bug is a duplicate of bug 318564

it appears to be something with translation, so if you choose any other translation than allready generated by locale-gen, then rerun "sudo locale-gen [your language, smth. like en,de,fr]" and then try the installer again
