That's right. If you can make this happen again, please go to /target/var/cache/apt/archives where you should find the newly-downloaded .deb file, and compare its length and md5sum with a good copy from the ftp site. > 6.

That's strange. So it seems that debootstrap is somehow unable to re- download the files after they have been erased. Was there anything on the Alt-F4 virtual console?
