crash while talking to qtparted

[Lee Armstrong]

Also, during step 6 when I want to display the partitions on hdb, the Ubiquity window goes blank. I received the following report after pressing "next":

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 112, in ?
    install(sys.argv[1])
  File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 52, in install
    ret = wizard.run()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/frontend/kde-ui.py", line 305, in run
    self.process_step()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/frontend/kde-ui.py", line 725, in process_step

  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/frontend/kde-ui.py", line 802, in gparted_to_mountpoints
    print >>self.qtparted_subp.stdin, "apply"
IOError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe

This is similar to bug 43504, but it's qtparted rather than gparted. I'll leave them as distinct bugs at least until I understand them better.

ubiquity (0.99.80) dapper; urgency=low

  * If we get an IOError when trying to tell gparted or qtparted to apply
    changes, just shut it down and try running it again (closes: Malone
    #43504, #44108).
  * Fix get_string to handle requests for fully-qualified debconf questions
    again.
  * Defend against progress_title being None in debconf_progress_start a bit
    harder.
  * Update Korean translation from Rosetta.
