Choosing Manually partitioning a disk causes a crash

[Cus]

Booted through the live cd and selected 'Install' from the desktop
At the 'select a disk' screen within Ubiquity, select the 'Manually edit partition table' option and hit 'Next'

The following traceback was shown:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 112, in ?

Thanks for your report. This is also bug 43125, and is fixed in current daily builds (http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/daily-live/current/).
