Comments/Problems:
After the reboot, the Debian Base System Configuration occurs. I
configured apt to the four ftp sites noted above, using "testing" as
the distribution. I then went to "Select and install packages". This is
where I ran into trouble.
I selected "manual package selection" and then OK. The screen went
black while a few lines were printed out, then suddenly the screen went
back to the installer (blue background with low-res graphics) saying
that the installation had failed. Specifically:
<quote>
There was a problem installing the selected software
One or more packages failed to install. This may be due to bugs in the
packages, or you may be out of disk space or experiencing some other
problem.
...
<endquote>
PROBLEM 1
---------
The real error was on the black screen, but it was overwritten so fast
by the generic "installation failed" screen that I couldn't see what
failed or why. Only by timing a CTRL/S press *just right* was I able to
see the underlying cause.
Please correct the installer to capture the screen output or pause the
screen display before erasing it, so that if failures occur, they can
be seen. This makes it easier to report.
PROBLEM 2
---------
The contents of the black screen with white letters is this:
<quote>

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
E: Unable to correct dependencies, some packages cannot be installed
E: Unable to resolve some dependencies!
Some packages had unmet dependencies. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libreadline-common: Conflicts: libreadline4 (< 4.3.13) but 4.3-11
is to be installed.
tasksel: aptitude failed
<endquote>
This dependency problem needs to be fixed.
