Bug Description
The installation of process of Ubuntu crashed due to encountering a corrupted package when downloaiding packages from the internet. This can be due to failing memory on the system trying to install Ubuntu.
One possible workaround may be to install Ubuntu and choosing not to install 3rd party software or updates and install updates after the installation succeeds. [cjwatson: I think this is unlikely to be a possible workaround in these cases, based on the logs.]
