Thanks for your report. The real problem here is:

  Dec 23 20:33:40 ubuntu ubiquity: Segmentation fault
  Dec 23 20:33:40 ubuntu ubiquity: dpkg: error processing libdiscover1 (--purge):
  Dec 23 20:33:40 ubuntu ubiquity: subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 139

This particular error is often due to a faulty CD/DVD disk or drive. It may help to clean the CD/DVD, to burn the CD/DVD at a lower speed, or to clean the CD/DVD drive lens (cleaning kits are often available from electronics suppliers).

Nevertheless, the fact that the installer fell over in a messy heap is bug 69470, fixed in Ubuntu 7.04.
