Could you please attach /var/log/installer/syslog, /var/log/syslog, and /var/log/partman to this bug, by commenting on the bug's web page? /var/log/installer/syslog only exists in Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper. Thanks in advance.

Changed in ubiquity:

We are seeing a large number of these bugs (which we are tagging as debconf-frontend-crash). While we are not 100% that they all have the same cause (we have not yet found the cause) we are grouping them together as duplicates.

If you are still able to reproduce this bug it would be great to have the /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman log files. This page contains detailed information on uploading log files: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingUbiquity/AttachingLogs (you will have to repeat the install attempt with the same Live CD to get them)
