My PC is an Asus UX303LA. During the installation process of Ubuntu 15.04 I have the following error message:

Message in the window: trying to overwrite '/usr/sbin/validlocale', which is also in package libc-bin2.21-Oubuntu

For the installation, I use ubuntu-15.04-desktop-amd64.iso .

I did a test with Ubuntu 14.04 --> same error :-(

I don't know what are the information that you need, but please, here are few more info on my PC:

I had the same problem and it took me 2 hours to figure out what it was.

In the USB stick I was using there were remaining deb files from a Debian distro in the hidden trash folder (.local/share/Trash/). I had erased the USB stick using nautilus and I did not worried about hidden files. Ubuntu in some way mapped those files into its apt repository and used in the install.

To solve this issue, I formated the USB stick and installed again the Ubuntu. I used UNetbootin. It worked!
