Yes, my error, the DHCP client in use is dhclient. I did not see any DHCP client running when the installer hung trying to download packages. I assumed udhcpc because it was available and it is a busybox environment in the installer. So the problem was that the DHCP client exited for some reason. > > > > The debian installer does not renew a DHCP lease after it has expired. > > > Possible.

The installer can take an arbitrarily large time, because it waits for user input and the user might be interrupted. > > > > network with dynamic ARP inspection[1] this results in loosing the > > > > network > > > > connection during installation. > > > So you have a infrastructure, that breaks existing things. > > No, d-i is broken by relying on the assumption that an IP address granted > > for time t1 is valid for a time t2 > t1. > > Robustness principle.
