** Description changed:
Trying to install the Precise Alpha1 release candidate (64-bit) on
VirtualBox on a 32-bit Ubuntu guest, ubiquity crashed while installing
the system and asked me to file a bug.
TEST CASE
1. Use Precise Desktop AMD64 and start the installation
2. In step 'Prepare' select 'Download Updates while installing' and 'Install
third party software'
3. Proceed with the installation
EXPECTED RESULT:
The system installs
ACTUAL RESULT:
The installation fails and the following error is displayed in the logs:
