Installer doesn't start (on QNAP)
The daily image doesn't start (at least on QNAP). You only get the
cursor and the screen redraws, but you never see any blue window. The
image from 2008-09-22 worked whereas that from 2008-09-24 (or later)
fails to start. I reverted all changes to see which one broke the
installer and came up with a very surprising change that makes the
current image work again:

Description: Debian installer main menu
Package: di-utils-shell
i.e. replace libc6-udeb with libc6 for main-menu in /var/lib/dpkg/status
and the installer starts again.
Does anyone understand this?
