UK mirror - problem?

["Nic Ferrier" <nferrier@tapsellferrier.co.uk>]

I'm not sure if this is the right place to raise this but I think
there may be a problem  with the current stable.

I've just upgraded a debian stable (i386) and got some very strange
config... 24 package were upgraded and apt went into config mode.

Normal enough... but what it wanted me to config was a new user - the
"normal user" config like when you're during the full install.

The opther strange thing was that it didn't ask me to specify the
name of the new user, it just said:
  "you have to make a new user.. blah blah"

and then:

  "enter the password for the new user..."

And it picked up one of the users I'd already got on the system and
tried to crete it, naturally it didn't work and the operation failed.
The config then got stuck in a loop, asking the same questions over
and over again.

I've tried this both from the UK and the US mirrors.
