A failure of this nature is generally attributed to a network or mirror problem. It is possible you have experienced this. Start the installer and immediately after setting up the network change to an ALT+F2 console. Then wget http://debian.mirror.ac.ke/debian/pool/main/n/netpbm-free/netpbm_10.0-15+b1_amd64.deb Being able to download it could be a reasonable reassurance. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
