thanks ;) i suspected 'corrupted' indices (or, indicies not the way d-i wants them) rather than corrputed busybox, because i know that debian-cd does not use apt-ftparchive anymore. however, it's broken busybox then. according to the bugreport you referenced, this seems to be a know issue for month. how likely is it that this can be fixed with etch point release? if not busybox can be fixed, can d-i be changed to not insist on Packages.gz if a Packages is available? unrelated to that, it's an extremely weird bug if the /original/ indices are accepted, but any changed ones not. -- Address: Daniel Baumann, Burgunderstrasse 3, CH-4562 Biberist Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet: http://people.panthera-systems.net/~daniel-baumann/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
