Installer Crashed

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Tried to install Feisty on a IBM ThinkPad T42, 120Gb harddrive, 2Gb memory.

Already running 6.10 with the following partition scheme:

root@ubuntu:~# sfdisk -l /dev/hda

Disk /dev/hda: 14593 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track
Units = cylinders of 8225280 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0

/dev/hda1 * 0+ 4461 4462- 35839991 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda2 4462 4474 13 104422+ 83 Linux

On Step 6 the installer crashed with the following error:

Thanks for your report. This is also bug 76976, and has since been fixed; run 'sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install ubiquity' in a terminal window before starting the installer to pick up the fix.
