Crash when selecting manual edit of partition table

[Alan Chandler]

Installing from live-CD with dapper flight7, over a disk already partitioned (was running debian unstable). Crashed as soon as I reached the set up partitions, and I said manually edit.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 112, in ?
    install(sys.argv[1])
  File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 52, in install
    ret = wizard.run()

This is a duplicate of bug #45746, which is fixed in newer versions (i.e. you should try a daily build or wait for the release candidate which is sheduled for May-25).
