Public bug reported:

System: Skywave Linux Flashback Release: 4.3.0 - this is a Focal Remix
live-cd based on Ubuntu 20.04.4 (https://skywavelinux.com/)

Ubiquity Version: 20.04.15.19

I want to install this live distro on VM (standalone HVM on Qubes OS -
but I think this not make any difference). I installed ubiquity,
ubiquity-casper, ubiquity-casper, ubiquity-frontend-gtk,ubiquity-
frontend-gtk-panel and ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu via apt after 'sudo
apt-get update'. I also mounted booted iso as cdrom (using: 'sudo mount
/dev/loop0 /media/cdrom' and 'sudo ls -s /media/cdrom /cdrom')

Then poceded installation as normal. When it comes to "Who are you?" page all 
fields without password was filed by some garbage/error "10 
passwd/user-fulname-casper-backup doesn't exist".
I changed it to values desired by me and chose some simple password.

Instalaltion crashed on user-setup. After some dbugging I found out that
$PASSWD variable that is used by setpassword() in user-setup-apply
script file is set to "10 passwd/user-fulname-casper-backup doesn't
exist" despite I was trying to set a new password via UI.

I also add question about that behavior to find some workaround
(https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+question/701995).
