Public bug reported:
I tried to install using the official Ubuntu 14.04 server installation
image. In the installation I selected as partition layout LVM with
automatic partitioning. User details and other input didn't have
anything special. At the end to the copying files to disk -stage the
process stopped with the error message "Package busybox-intramfs cannot
be installed".
I've attached real screenshots of the error message and the output on
console 4, which indicate that the root cause was in the base-install or
in-target stages.
I rebooted the machine and started the installation from scratch, and it
stopped in the same result. Thus this seems like a repeatable bug and
worth filing.
As I was unable to get the installation done using the server image I
installed Lubuntu. Using Lubuntu I also selected as partition layout LVM
with automatic partitioning. Lubuntu installation finished successfully,
so this bug does not affect Ubiquity or other parts of LVM nor did it
have anything to do with hardware or other parts of Ubuntu. I've also
checked the MD5 on the installation image that it was not corrupt.
I'd love to help but unfortunately I cannot re-install this machine or
access it's logs again, so I can't do more debugging.
Bug #1117292 seems similar, but in my case the installation failed out-
of-the-box, installation was not preseeded and it was not random but
repeatable.
