This problem has come up sporadically before, and we've never figured out exactly what it is. You may try the install again and it may work the next time. (Or not.) I have seen the problem myself also, and then successfully installed on a retry. So it's one that comes and goes and it's very hard to track down. -- Debian GNU/Linux Operating System By the People, For the People Chris Tillman (a people instance)
