Ubiquity crashes when it starts installing files.

[Tume]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Ubuntu Dapper Desktop CD

After I have selected the partitions and correct mountpoints ( I left '/' and '/home' unpartioned ), after pressing install button in step 6/6 this happends:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 130, in ?
    install(sys.argv[1])
  File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 55, in install

Thanks for your report. You must reformat the target / filesystem. (If you're trying to upgrade an existing installation, see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperUpgrades instead.) This is also bug 47046.
