dapper ubqiuty crashed over PPC partitioning

[KarlGoetz]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Leading up to this bug was roughtly this:

i installed ubuntu using default ('use entire drive'), onto hda
reran the installer and chose custom partitioning (first run was to create the boot partitions)
the label editor apeared and i put in 5 lines
/dev/hda3 /
/dev/hda4 /home
/dev/hda5 /mnt/ubuntumirror
/dev/hda6 swap

i hit next, noticed i hadnt put one in, then added it (assuming the next hadnt worked).
/dev/hdd3 /mnt/oldsystem
or
/dev/hdd3 /mnt/oldhome
(i cant remember which if either of these is correct, but they look ok)

the last page loaded, and it didnt have the last system i added. i tried goin back to labeling and forward again and it wouldnt appear.

i pressed 'isntall' figuring i can add it afterwards.
ubiquity popped up a message saying 'you need an hfs partition <this long>, with contine and go back options,
i pressed 'go back' and it crashed.

Ubuntquity gave this output:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/frontend/gtkui.py", line 1169, in watch_debconf_fd_helper

  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/frontend/gtkui.py", line 1600, in quit_main_loop
    gtk.main_quit()
RuntimeError: called outside of a mainloop

I'll attach the logs requested.

Wasnt sure if this was a dupe, so filed it anyway

the last post is /var/log/installer/syslog.

my /var/log/syslog is empty.

/var/log/partman is attached here.

I just noticed the time is wrong now too - perhaps its related (looks like it/i got GMT wrong)

sorry if this post dupes

Trying with the latest release would be moot wouldnt it, as PPC is no
longer supported?
Or do you mean an 'ubuntu 6.06.2' cd?

Have you already tried with the 6.06.2-install cd?

This crash was fixed a long time ago, as bug 54163. Sorry I didn't notice this bug before now.
