Installer Crashed on 10.10

[Raul Cuza]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

I have a new T410 that I want to install Ubuntu on but leave the hardware testing software installed (ThinkVantage)

I did a custom partition, preserving the NTFS filesystems that were at the beginning and end of the drive. With the middle 300Gb, I broke it up into the partition structure I wanted for my new system.

Install started fine. I walked away and came to an error message saying a certain package could not be uninstalled. The package name was missing from the error dialog.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. If you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running only once:

and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
