I think it would often be preferable if anna (i.e. menu option Load installer
modules) would reload package files if called for the second time.
(However, please feel free to close this bug if you disagree.)

Emm. Now I'm feeling stupid. Yes you're doing what I want for practical purposes.
I must have done something really silly here to create the problematic setup and
I cannot reproduce it without doing the following, which I admit to be rather
artificial:
- At no point provide Packages
- Create Junk in Packages.gz
- let installer fetch stuff, gunzip fails and the Packages.gz is left there
- Replace Junk by real Packages.gz
As an effect, anna will fail, but will succeed the next time debian-installer is
started. Of course this could be avoided by removing the Packages.gz, but I
don't think it's worth it if there is no better way to trigger it.
Again, this is very artificial and it is not the original way I had this
problem. However, I'm not able to reproduce it properly (partly because gunzip
called by anna seems to succeed more often than gunzip on my host system).
Sorry about that.
Cheers
Thomas
