Bug Description

When installing Ubuntu Server 14.04.2 in a VirutalBox virtual machine the installer hangs on man-db (amd64) configuration.

Steps to reproduce the error:
Set up a VM in Virutalbox with the following settings (see attachment for details of the VM)

4GB RAM
2x VDI virutal drives (8GB & 16GB)
VideoRAM 128
NAT network
90% CPU execution cap

Install Ubuntu
*Encrypted LVM on the first drive
** (weird that you can't choose both drives in the installer, but that's besides the point)
SSH
LAMP
MAIL

Ubuntu Server starts installing but when it gets to man-db (amd64) is being configured the entire installer hangs to a complete lockup. (see the kernel trace on tty5 attachment and the screenshot of the installer hang)

What should have happend?
- The installer should have finished and reboot so I could continue to configure my system.

Here is a screenshot of the last available data from TTY5 showing what looks like a Kernel error.

Here is the live syslog during the installer (was able to extract it mounting a USB stick attached to the virutal machine on TTY1 busybox)

Now 6 months further, using installer 14.04.3 LTS and this bug still exists. I am able to reproduce it with the exact same installation method. Using the latest version of Virtual Box (Windows 7 - 64-bit host).
