Public bug reported: After the lengthy account creation, I don't remember much. I was trying to install console-data, it didn't work, I couldn't remove it cleanly. This went back and forth a few times. Finally it threw a serious error and asked to report to the mothership.
This is within a vmware fusion VM from Mac OS X.
