Ok. I tried the following. I got ubiquity_2.15.9_powerpc.deb ubiquity-frontend- debconf_2.15.9_powerpc.deb ubiquity-frontend-gtk_2.15.9_powerpc.deb ubiquity-ubuntu-artwork_2.15.9_all.deb from http://ftp.tu- chemnitz.de/pub/linux/ubuntu-ports/pool/main/u/ubiquity/ and installed them forcibly, after installing the dependencies python3-pyicu and python3-oauthlib. Here is the output:
