Ubiquity fails during partitioning in Feisty 1.10.07

[Timothy Smith]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Ubiquity is just giving me a hell of a time today. First it wouldn't erase the old drive because it wasn't turning the swap paritition off. Now that I wiped the drive clean with Gparted it crashes every time.

File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity", line 185, in ?

  File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity", line 180, in main
    install(args[0])

Rebooted and I still get the same error with a wiped partition table

When I format the disk with a ext3 partition followed by a swap partition the installer works fine. It seems to have issues with empty partition tables.

Thanks for your report. This is also bug 76976.
