Installer fails whilst finding packages
I have a problem installing Debian Woody onto a generic PC clone.
It has IDE disks, P3, CD-ROM nothing flash.
The CD is:
debian-30r0-i386-binary-1_NONUS.iso
and I have verified it matches the MD5 checksums listed on the official
site. I checked 10 minutes ago so I'm presuming it's the current image.
It was built with jigdo.
The CD was created on the 25th August 2002, I'm at GMT +10.
I can boot, partition, format my disks etc, then I get to the section
where it selects my install source.
I choose my local cdrom, it finds it, mounts it, i choose /instmnt and
hit enter.
It starts validating packages then gets to 'iptables' and bombs out
saying:
Cannot find package iptables
At which point I go round and round in a loop.
I have also tried copying to my server and using an NFS share instead of
the cdrom. My server has a DVD drive I trust. Same problem occurs on the
same package.
Searched the CD. There is an iptables package in:
pool/main/i/iptables/iptables_1.2.6a-5_i386.deb
I had a problem once before where my /var partition was too small, but
in this case it is at 900Mb.
I am about to go try the regular version instead of the NONUS version.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
Regards,
David N
