Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

To reproduce:
1. Attempt to install Feisty Herd 4 over another installation of Feisty.
2. When you manually select partitions, do not check "format" for your root partition.
3. Somewhere during the file copying stage, ubiquity will just crash without giving any feedback.

I will attach the ubiquity lines from /var/log/user.log

This is the first release where the "format" box does not get checked automatically when you select your root partition.
