Bug Description

The weak-password dialog currently offers "Continue" and "Go Back" as choices, while the corresponding question in d-i is a boolean question. It should offer "Yes" and "No" choices instead.

The partitioning question is dealt with in bug 346589 (fixed for the next upload but not yet in daily builds).

I'll keep this bug for the weak-password question. This is not a translation bug so I'll update the description accordingly.

summary: - wrong german translation of buttons in ubiquity

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 1.12.0

---------------
ubiquity (1.12.0) jaunty; urgency=low

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Update for new message context system in GTK+ 2.15.1, and update
    imported translations from gtk+2.0 2.16.0-1ubuntu2.
  * Stop setting message attribute in InstallStepError; it isn't used and it
    generates a deprecation warning with Python 2.6. Similarly, rename
    PartedServerError's message attribute to parted_error.
  * Always set auto-login for OEM installations.
  * KDE frontend:
    - Hide auto-login and require-password radio buttons for OEM
      installations.
  * Remove reimplementation of gdm and kdm auto-login support for OEM
    installations, since user-setup handles this now and the duplication
    causes oem-config to be unable to undo autologin (LP: #347900).
  * Fix ubiquity/install_bootloader handling (LP: #348660):
    - Check the seen flag rather its value when deciding whether to override
      it with the UI's value.
    - Outside automatic mode, default the UI's "Install boot loader"
      question to the value of ubiquity/install_bootloader.
  * Offer "Yes" and "No" choices for user-setup/password-weak (LP: #349173).
  * Depend on grub | grub-pc, and don't remove grub-pc until after
    grub-installer has had the chance to decide whether it wants to use it
    (LP: #349835).
  * Add a compatibility wrapper for update-dev to ensure that it never
    attempts to call 'udevadm trigger', which isn't necessary in ubiquity
    and can cause problems (LP: #349937).
  * Permit dmraid-style /dev/mapper/* device names in advanced boot loader
    selector, as well as disk and partition numbers over 9 (LP: #342354).
  * Remove /target/var/lib/apt-xapian-index per Michael Vogt, since it needs
    to be rebuilt based on the installed system's sources.list, and apt's
    cron.daily script and/or synaptic will do this.
  * Preserve ordering of automatic partitioning choices when replacing them
    with our customised strings (LP: #351547).
  * Update translations from Launchpad.
  * Automatic update of included source packages: apt-setup 1:0.37ubuntu11,
    base-installer 1.98ubuntu4, console-setup 1.28ubuntu7, grub-installer
    1.36ubuntu5, hw-detect 1.71ubuntu6, partman-base 129ubuntu4,
    partman-target 58ubuntu6.

  [ Evan Dandrea ]
  * Make the partman/unmount_active dialog a yes or no question
    (LP: #346589).
  * Sort the list of regions on the timezone page (LP: #344334).
  * Merge Roman's city placement code into the GTK frontend.
  * Work in bytes rather than percentages in the partition bar code
    (LP: #336203).
  * Fix partition bar slider (for resizing) code by adding correct
    calculations for bounds checking and slider positioning.
  * Properly encode data from os-prober (LP: #345573).
  * Make sure that the before and after partitioning bars use the same
    colors for the same partitions (LP: #289324).
  * Fix the placement of the partition bars in scrolled windows when
    necessary.
  * Don't let the partition bars eat up any extra space.
  * Move selecting a disk from radio buttons to a drop down box on the
    automatic partitioning page. This saves a lot of space when...

Rather than start a new bug I will add to this one.

the daily-live o/a 4/1/2009 has this behavior in
connection the Use weak password dialog

There is not really a question, it suggests that
you use a stronger password.

If you select Yes (you expect the code to allow
you to change the password), it does not it goes on to
the Ready to Install Screen

If you select No you are allowed to change the password

Seems like there should be a Question Instead of the Statement

blah blah blah. You should choose a stronger password
maybe it should say
blah blah blah. Do you want to choose a stronger password

Then Yes should leave you on the 'Who are you' screen and
allow you to change your password
and
No should take you to the 'Ready to install screen'
