Ubiquity crash for exception thrown in plugininstall.py

[Brad Figg]

***Workaround: don't use encrypt my folder"***

Binary package hint: ubiquity

The installer crashed while attempting to install onto a system. I selected "use entire disk" and it looked as though the partitioning succeeded and the filesystem creation also succeeded. It was after copying files to the disk had completed and the installer started installing software that it blew up.

Skipping updates or broken internet makes it working

and install succesfully

I misspoken earlier, this issue is due to encryption.
