Bug#520711: installation-reports: The squeeze netinst doesn't find archive

[Rick Thomas <rbthomas55@pobox.com>]

If it helps any, I tried the same thing on an amd64 machine, with the  
following results (manually typed from the <ALT>-F4 screen):

> kernel: wget: segfault at ... error 7 in libresolv-2.9.so


after trying "wget http://www.amazon.com/";

but if I try "wget http://72.21.207.65/";  (that's the numeric IP  
address that corresponds to www.amazon.com)

it successfully retrieves an "index.html" file, and there is no error  
message in the <ALT>-F4 screen.

Can we conclude that there is at least one bug in the libresolv-2.9  
library module that's included in the squeeze d-i initrd.

What does that tell us about which package the bug belongs to?

Thanks!

Rick
