Comments/Problems:
The installation fails after selecting and downloading the package groups
at "Downloading file 477 of 477 (4s remaining)". You can see an error
message: "Can't call method "description" on an undefined value at
/usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Question.pm line 93, <GEN0> line 27053". And at
the bottom of the screen is written: "tasksel: Aptitude failed, Press
Enter to continue.".
Prehaps you can help me or solve the bug. Merry Christmas to you!
