Bug Description
The mythbuntu 14.04.02 installer crashes while unpacking packages. It has happened exactly the same way twice in a row.
I chose my own partitioning system, where I installed mythbuntu onto an existing partition without formatting it. There was already something a bit wierd in the installer because after selecting that the existing partition should be mounted as root, I got a message saying that changes to the partition table were permanent. However there was to be no change to the partition table so I said go back. The second time that I went ahead with the changes I got a warning about the installer wiping out /lib, /etc from the pre-existing partition. This warning seemed more reasonable so I went ahead with that.
All seemed to go well until a few minutes later in the package copying phase.
The key error in ubiquity seems to be as follows:
ubiquity.
I will note that in the installer the choice to encrypt my home partition was greyed out and pre-selected. I could not alter this choice during the install.
It doesn't make any difference if the option to download updates during installation is selected or not.
If I drop to a terminal and manually do apt-get install cryptsetup I find out that the problem is that cryptsetup depends on lsb-base 4.1+Debian11ubuntu7 but version 4.1+Debian11ubuntu6 is going to be installed.
