Apologies for the delay in responding to this but there is a lack of
information in the report to be able to identify the problem.
Have you tried to reproduce this since filing the report?
How was the install run - netinst/CD/DVD, architecture, stable or
testing, version, what kind of machine? ('Plain' doesn't mean a lot.)
Numerous other tests and installs have successfully happened since the
bug report, so there is presumably something about how this test was
done which triggered the problem.
