Bug Description

Release: Ubuntu Lucid Lynks (daily build 10-Jan)

After having manually specified the partitions ubiquity crashed with the following error when it has to apply the changes to the hard disk:
ubiquity.components.partman failed with exit code 141

The steps I've done are:
1- create a new partition table
2- create a swap partition
3- create the root partion

I tried even without creating the swap, but I obtain the same error

If it helps I was trying to install it on virtualbox

Well, I'm sorry for not having attached those files but I didn't know how to obtain them during the installation process.

However with the daily build of the 19th January the problem doesn't show up and the installation proceed normally.
