Download the Mint source and get debugging.

That is how you can resolve this error.

Visit the Mint website, there are instructions. Read them.

If you cannot or will not even perform some rudimentary web research or put in any independent effort of your own, then no one on this site can help you.

I would prefer that you look it up and show some effort. This is all I have for you on this topic.

IF you were willing to post the textual (not image) output as I asked earlier of:

Code:

parted_devices; parted -lm

then I/others -might- have some additional ideas.
IF not, I have nothing further to work with, tho I'm interested.
Maybe your bug report will get a response some day
(but I'm guessing that they would need to see the above input).

The error message lists the .py source files being run (thus you have it);
it's choking on the output of parted_devices cmd.

A 'workaround/hack' -might- be: hide the real /bin/parted_devices
and replace it with a hard-coded script that just echo's 1 good line.
(I tested this, and it seems to work!)

Example post: sudo parted_devices |nc termbin.com 9999

Try this, before you click on the install icon:
Edit File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/plugins/ubi-prepare.py", line 416 (or wherever error is)
Change: if device and ...
To: if '\t' in device and ...

Code:

 '\t' in

adds a test for tab in device string, to avoid IndexError [1] if none.
But without seeing input, this is blind-guessing.

Code:

...
File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/plugins/ubi-prepare.py", line 416, in free_space
    if device and int(device.split('\t')[1]) > biggest:
IndexError: list index out of range

Any python programmers have advice here?

Optimally, change the simple initial test of device being true, to more exact:
len(device.split('\t'))==4 and (device.split('\t')[1]).isalnum
