jaunty ubiquity installer crashes with InstallStepError: LanguageApply failed with code 2

[Martin Pool]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

I'm trying to install karmic into an alternate partition on my laptop by running ubiquity from inside my jaunty installation. I have a karmic_root lv within lvm within a dmcrypt partition.

After formatting the filesystems, ubiquity crashes with this traceback:

I want to install Karmic, but at the moment of course I'm using the ubiquity from Jaunty.

I've tried recreating this bug with Oneiric and was unable to, given the information you've provided. Please either a) upgrade and test or b) increase the verbosity of the steps to recreate it so we can try again.

Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.
