Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Fails on line 116 on my iBook 700, as soon as the window pops up, before the first screen is drawn. Date was 1904-1-1, and it kept failing with the error "ValueError: Microseconds must be in the range 0-9999999" or similar. Changing my date to be more correct (2006-11-6) fixed the issue and the installer was more successful.
