I was attempting to install the Debian Hurd 2013 05 system on a VirtualBox VM. 
Using the netinst .iso I got as far as the software selection item in the 
installer which failed. 

The syslog had a lot of messages but I believe the pertinent one was 


The following packages have unmet dependencies

iproute : Depends: iproute2 but it is not installable

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages

tasksel: apt-get failed (100)


I skipped that section and proceeded to install Grub, this has given me a 
bootable Hurd but without a lot of the important utils (e.g. less)


Can anyone help?


Thanks,

Peter
