noninteractive installer mode causes traceback

[Michael Brown]

When 'noninteractive' is added to the kernel command line for automatic-ubiquity installs, the installer crashes with a traceback.

File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/filteredcommand.py", line 359, in run
  if not self.frontend.installing:
AttributeError: Wizard instance has no attribute 'installing'

ubiquity (1.6.3) gutsy; urgency=low

  [ Evan Dandrea ]
  * Remember to not use the migration-assistant dbfilter when using
    --no-migration-assistant, again (LP: #148766).
  * Update noninteractive frontend to use recent changes to FilteredCommand
    (LP: #149473).

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Remove excessive blank lines in GDM and KDM configuration files in OEM
    mode.
  * GTK frontend:
    - Make sure the next button remains the default widget despite being
      hidden and re-shown.
  * Shell out to sed for now rather than using flaky, complicated, and above
    all incorrect code to edit gdm.conf and kdmrc for autologin in OEM mode
    (LP: #149985).
  * Update translations from Rosetta.
  * Automatic update of included source packages: user-setup 1.14ubuntu4.

New traceback:

File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/components/partman.py", line 979, in ok_handler
    self.frontend.get_autopartition_choice()
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable

This traceback appears on the console and isnt in any of the logs that I can see.

This is really a new bug - but reopening anyway. I confirm it exists in the code, though I haven't checked for workarounds.

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 1.7.5

---------------
ubiquity (1.7.5) hardy; urgency=low

  [ Evan Dandrea ]
  * Add accessibility support to 'only-ubiquity'.
  * Move noninteractive frontend to a purely gobject-based event loop
    (LP: #149477).
  * Noninteractive mode now implies --automatic (LP: #149473).
  * Add new nautilus gconf keys to the list we temporarily disable to
    prevent constant pop-ups.
  * Automatic update of included source packages: console-setup
    1.21ubuntu2, migration-assistant 0.6.0, partman-target 52ubuntu3,
    user-setup 1.16ubuntu3.

  [ Mario Limonciello ]
  * Add proper theme support to mythbuntu FE.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Update console-setup component for layout and variant changes in
    console-setup 1.21ubuntu1.
  * Run fontconfig-voodoo with --force.
  * Call 'fontconfig-voodoo --auto --force --quiet' when the language is
    changed. May help with LP #185269.
