Bug#121724: malformed release file still happening in 3.0.17
Package: boot-floppies
Version: 3.0.17
Severity: important
Sorry but it's still happening (cf. #114603)- the only way around was a
restart of the install from scratch (including mke2fs). Architecture is
i386 for a change, BTW. Most probably caused by giving a bogus archive
URL for network install on the very first attempt.
No files in /target/var/cache, a zero bytes release file in
/target/var/lib/apt/lists (removing that one didn't do anything)
Subtle clue: manually running the same debootstrap command as shown in
the log screen
gives:
/usr/sbin/debootstrap: 3: bad file descriptor
(some file not getting closed after initial failed download??)
