Comment 2 for bug 521362

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 2.1.18

---------------
ubiquity (2.1.18) lucid; urgency=low

  * Preliminary version of a new greeter, accessible using the
    'maybe-ubiquity' boot option. In this mode, ubiquity-dm displays a
    choice between "Try Ubuntu without installing" and "Install Ubuntu"
    after starting X, rather than needing to present that choice at the boot
    loader. This is not ready for production use yet and (desperately!)
    needs artwork, but merging it here will make it easier to test. Thanks
    to Cody Russell for the first version of the greeter code.
  * Thaw choose_partition choices on partman startup.
  * Always use use_as method to get method choices rather than going through
    slower partman scripts. (We were already doing this in some fast
    paths.)
  * Always use default_mountpoint_choices method to get mountpoint choices
    rather than going through slower partman scripts. (We were already
    doing this in some fast paths.)
  * Cache question types in each DebconfFilter instance, saving a debconf
    command during widget search for every component using type: or ERROR
    matching.
  * Install wrapper scripts to cache results of os-prober and
    linux-boot-prober. The wrapper approach means that we capture calls to
    these scripts from shell as well as Python.
  * Cache question descriptions in partman plugin, since these are
    frequently fetched and there's no REGISTER funkiness going on in
    partman.
  * Avoid descending into partman/free_space just to find out whether it's
    possible to create a partition there. We can get the same information
    by inspecting the data returned by PARTITIONS.
  * Install set-date-epoch program from clock-setup (>= 0.101).
  * PROGRESS INFO takes a template, not a string (and even if it took a
    string, debconf's command parsing wouldn't like passing just a space);
    adjust install plugin handling to fix debconf_ui (LP: #521362).
  * Switch to source format 3.0 (native) with bzip2 compression, saving a
    little over a megabyte.
