Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description didn't include enough information.

Please include the information requested from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingUbiquity/AttachingLogs as separate attachments.

Thanks for your report. I tracked this down via bug 86427, so there'll be a fix in my next upload.
