Severity: normal
Greetings from the Cambridge BSP!
While reinstalling an IA64 with a d-i daily-build netinst CD, the
"Detect disks" stage failed. Here's a snippet from the syslog:
[...]

Further up the syslog we see:

(a missing libc6.1 seems a bad thing...), and after the mirror has been
configured we see:

/debian/dists/lenny/main/binary-ia64/Packages.gz does contain libunwind7, but
/debian/dists/lenny/main/debian-installer/binary-ia64/Packages.gz does not.
(Luk has confirmed that the same thing is wrong on ftp-master, so it's not just
a problem with our local mirror.)
