[Bug 728517] [NEW] Install crashes part-way through

[Scott Swanson]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Trying to install 10.10. Have verified md5 sums. It gets 3/4 of the way
through, and then crashes. I'm getting tired of having to then re-
install my stupid old Mandrivel 2010 so I can have a working system. I
managed to save the logs to a USB drive, and am attaching them, I hope.
Looks like your form only allows one attachment? We'll see.

yet!)

Mar 2 18:02:47 ubuntu python: Exception during installation:
Mar 2 18:02:47 ubuntu python: Traceback (most recent call last):
Mar 2 18:02:47 ubuntu python: File "/usr/share/ubiquity/install.py", line 608, in <module>
Mar 2 18:02:47 ubuntu python: install.run()

Mar 2 18:02:47 ubuntu python: os.unlink(targetpath)
Mar 2 18:02:47 ubuntu python: OSError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/target/usr/local/man'

Here is my disk layout. I'm formatting sda 7 & 8 during install.

Filesystem Size Now Install
/dev/sda1 595M / -
/dev/sda6 38M /boot -
/dev/sda7 7.7G /usr /
/dev/sda8 1.8G /var /var
/dev/sda9 7.9G /usr/local /usr/local
/dev/sda10 56G /home /home

Is my attempt to maintain sda9 causing troubles? Guess I could just
leave it out of the equation, then move whatever ubuntu puts in
/usr/local over to it after the install.
