Public bug reported:
Since March 6 the installer of the ubuntu-disco-server-ppc64el daily
images consistently fails. The installer can't pass the "Partition
disks" stage: the stage fails silently, without showing the classic d-i
red error screen. A dig in the syslog shows:
partman: *** stack smashing detected ***: <unknown> terminated
partman: *** stack smashing detected ***: <unknown> terminated
partman-lvm: *** stack smashing detected ***: <unknown> terminated
debconf: --> PROGRESS STEP 1

but the step clearly did not succeed. Trying again to perform the
"Partition disks" step produces more

<unknown> terminated
errors in the syslog, and indeed this is what happens when trying to run
partman manually:
~ # partman
*** stack smashing detected ***: <unknown> terminated
This problem renders the current Ubuntu disco images uninstallable on
ppc64. Let me know if you need to know any other information to better
investigate it.
