Are you sure you have all the files? And are you sure you have a correct
Packages.gz file? There was, hmm, a problem with the ftp server over the
weekend, several files have been removed, They should be back again by now
(xserver-fbdev and many more were gone. Yesterday all of non-US was gone).
This can happen when you try to install a not yet released debian version
;-)
