Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: debian-installer

Last night I tried installing a ubuntu based distribution with a usb
netboot system i made, this have been working as of the first ubuntu
release until now.

After finally convincing somebody to switch from windows to linux (bug-
zero). I could not install ubuntu because of this bug. So i want to make
this a high priority bug.

The installation crashes while getting packages from the archive I assume there 
is a mismatch with a list of packages somewhere in the process that results in 
a failure to install message. (i tried different archives including the main 
archive)
 
steps to reproduce:

cd ~
wget 
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/i386/initrd.gz
wget 
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/i386/linux
qemu -m 128 -localtime -net nic -net user -kernel ~/linux -initrd ~/initrd.gz 
-hda /dev/zero

Please see if this issue is solvable as soon as possible,

Thanks in advance,

Jelle
