Bug Description
Reported error was "ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '' " - a very old Ubiquity bug 42774 has same message but stack trace was completely different at a different point.
Cause:
1. Start Kubuntu CD, select 'Install' from the CD menu
2. Do a manual partition. Drive has NTFS XP at sda2 with a rescue NTFS at sda1 and 40GB free space
3. Added 12G XFS partition at sda5 and swap at sda6
4. Set to install bootloader to sda5
5. Installer progressed and copied files then died with the following stack trace on the 'Configuring Bootloader' screen
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/
main(
File "/usr/lib/

File "/usr/lib/
ret = wizard.run()

status = int(status)
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''
Digression: I should have made /boot at sda3 primary partition which would have allowed me to copy the first 512 bytes of sda3 to a bin file to chain from the XP bootloader.
