It looks like any moving of a file which comes from the read-only
underlying filesystem. It doesn't behave the same when one deletes a
file instead of moving.

It seems like it's probably a bug in overlayfs, so I'm adding a task for
linux so the kernel team can take a look.

  Ubiquity crashes prior to keyboard configuration in 15.04

Bug description:
  As best as I can tell, if anything other than a US keyboard layout is
  selected from the boot menu, ubi-console-setup will crash prior to the
  keyboard configuration. The dialogue displayed says:

      ubi-console-setup failed with exit code 2. Further information
  maybe found in /var/log/syslog.

  There are the relevant lines from /var/log/syslog:

  Jan  7 23:30:39 ubuntu ubiquity: /var/lib/dpkg/info/keyboard-configuration.config: 34160: .: Can't open /etc/default/keyboard
  Jan  7 23:30:39 ubuntu ubiquity[2323]: log-output -t ubiquity setxkbmap -layout gb -option
  Jan  7 23:30:39 ubuntu ubiquity[2323]: debconffilter_done: ubi-console-setup (current: ubi-console-setup)
  Jan  7 23:30:39 ubuntu ubiquity[2323]: dbfilter_handle_status: ('ubi-console-setup', 2)

  The dialogue has 3 buttons, Quit, Continue Anyway and Try Again. If
  you choose Try Again it is possible to complete the install. If you
  choose Continue Anyway the installer will progress and eventually
  crash completely as which point apport was able to harvest the
  attached logs.

  
  WORKAROUND: After you see the "ubi-console-setup crashed" dialog, open a terminal and do

    sudo rm /etc/default/keyboard
    sudo mv /etc/default/keyboard.pre-ubiquity /etc/default/keyboard

  then click "Continue anyway" in the dialog. This should prevent the
  crash at the end of installation.
