Base system installation error

["Johannes Behr" <johannes.behr@zgdv.de>]

Hi,

i tried to install sarge/testing on my dell INSPIRON-8000
notebook using 'net' install.

After assigning the partitions/mirror the install-process 
starts to fetch packages and every think just looks fine
until it stops and a red text-error-box appears:

---------------------------------------------------------
Install the base System

Base system installation error

The debootstrap program exited with an error (return values 1)

You might find more information in /target/var/log/debootstrap.log
---------------------------------------------------------

I look at the /target/var/log files:

There are two files:

debootstrap.err.log: empty, zero size
debootstrap.log: 1 line:

  tar: Unrecognized file type.

I did not find any fitting bug report so I hope to get
some feedback on this list.

regards,
  Johannes
