Bug#116757: Getting the base system over HTTP fails

["Verheijen, W.J.A." <W.J.A.Verheijen@student.tue.nl>]

I did not enter a wrong URL first, but accepted URL that the installation
program suggested.  That URL is correct.

I partly got it to work by first downloading a basedebs file and trying
to install from that.  It then complained about a missing .deb file, and
then I tried again with network install.  It sucesfully downloaded some
files, but it gave an error (Error code 1).

I will try if I can narrow it down somewhat.

I believe this is the same bug as debootsraps #116393

If you get the url wrong the first time wget downloads the html error
page and saves this as the release file.

When you retry a different url it uses the old error page as the release
file, it should delete it.
