Ubuntu Studio Natty fails to install software when ubuntustudio-video is chosen

[Scott Lavender]

Binary package hint: debian-installer

During the installation of Ubuntu Studio it fails during the "Installing Software" phase. This is when the ubuntustudio-video metapackage is selected. After the failure I went back to the menu and restarted at the failing command, I unselected the video tasksel option, and installation proceeded correctly.

There are also some interesting comments about MIME selections when the ubuntustudio-video manually. I will try to attach them later.

Added /var/log/installer/syslog per cjwatson

Right. Realized I couldn't just attach the /var/log/install/syslog file.

However, read it as root and copied the text. Saved this file as me (non-root) as attached now to the bug report :)
