debian-users:

I downloaded debian-9.5.0-amd64-xfce-CD-1.iso several months ago via:

https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/jigdo-cd/


Here is the local file produced by Jidgo:

2018-11-01 21:47:40 dpchrist@vstretch ~/iso/debian/9.5.0/amd64
$ ll debian-9.5.0-amd64-xfce-CD-1.iso
-rw-r--r--+ 1 dpchrist dpchrist 671088640 2018/08/12 18:34:13 debian-9.5.0-amd64-xfce-CD-1.iso


Here is the checksum of the local file:

2018-11-01 21:48:17 dpchrist@vstretch ~/iso/debian/9.5.0/amd64
$ sha256sum debian-9.5.0-amd64-xfce-CD-1.iso

The checksum of the file matches the checksum from the Debian site:

I burned the ISO to a USB flash drive early today:

        2018-11-01 20:12:28 root@po ~

The checksum on the USB flash drive is correct:

When I attempt to install Debian using the above flash drive:

          Use a network mirror          No
          Participate in the package usage survey
                                        No
          Choose software to install    Debian desktop environment
                                        ... Xfce
                                        standard system utilities

It fails with a pop-up dialog:

        [!] Select and install software
        Installation step failed
An installation step failed. You can try to run the failing item again from the menu, or skip it and choose something else. The failing step is: Select and install software


Note that I did not select a mirror.


Apparently, debian-9.5.0-amd64-xfce-CD-1.iso is missing the packages required for a default installation (?).


If I go back and use a network mirror (my local Approx server), I can finish the install successfully:

    Select Continue -> Configure the package manager:

Can anyone confirm this bug?
