Bug Description

In the timezone screen, I selected London. I then selected "Change time", and put the clock back by an hour (the UI didn't make it clear what I should be doing about having the clock in GMT). Closing the time preferences reset the time, and the installer then crashed.

This may well be a different bug. Matthew, did you get a crash dialog with a backtrace?

Yes, but I'm afraid I didn't record it. I'll see if I can reproduce it
later on.

I think this is the appropriate traceback - it may actually have occured after clicking forward, in which case it could well be a duplicate of 41846:
