Public bug reported:
Ubiquity fails to create encrypted home directory when no swap if
configured.
1) Begin installing Ubuntu
2) Custom partitions - Don't configure a swap partition
3) When Ubiquity asks for the user name, say that you want an encrypted home
folder
4) Ubiquity fails: see screenshot

Apr 26 23:12:05 ubuntu ubiquity: You can create a swap file by doing:

Apr 26 23:12:05 ubuntu ubiquity: And then re-run /usr/bin/ecryptfs-setup-swap
Apr 26 23:12:05 ubuntu ubiquity:
Apr 26 23:12:05 ubuntu ubiquity: /usr/share/ubiquity/user-setup-encrypted-swap:
60: /usr/share/ubiquity/user-setup-encrypted-swap: cannot open /etc/crypttab:
No such file
Apr 26 23:12:05 ubuntu ubiquity: cp: cannot stat `/etc/crypttab': No such file
or directory
Because of the ecryptfs-setup-swap error I assume that it fails because
of the missing swap partition.
