Comments/Problems:
Network configuration seemed to use DHCP without issue, but
consistently failed to retrieve information from network hosts. Other
hosts on the same subnet are obtaining DHCP leases without issue and
accessing the Internet without issue. The Ethernet cable was unplugged
to force the failure of DHCP and allow manual configuration (why is it
no longer an option?). Upon using manual network configuration,
downloads completed without issue.
The installation is failing in the same place repeatedly. It is during
package configuration after base system installation, and the return
value is 127. The contents of debootstrap.log contain the following:
dpkg error processing at (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured:
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of exim4:
