The mirror(s) you were using might have been incomplete at the moment you did your first tests....and finally resynced. What you describe seems consistent with this. About the "hangs" during package installation: in such cases, switching to console 4 (Alt+F4) may help showing up what's going wrong: maybe a package prompting users interactively without using debconf (in such case, the prompting appears on VT4). So, far, the original iossue you reported appears to be fixed in latest versions of D-I packages. As a consequence, I'm hereby closing this bug report. Many thanks for your care reporting back issues you were facing with.Attachment: signature.asc
