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!

We are closing this installation report for one of the following
reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
  Installer.
- indications in the installation report give the feeling that
  the reported problem waslying in another software, unrelated to
  D-I, which we can't easily identify.
- indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been
  fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component
- it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-)
- it has no information we consider useful


The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool
of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet. 

In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be
still present, please reiterate your installation test with
a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this.

You'll find daily builds at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose
the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to
install "squeeze" when prompted.

If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent
against installation-reports.

Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian,
past and present.
