I was busy working on other things and blindly accepted the version
number from my unstable box where I generated the bug report, not the
actual vm where I ran into the issue.

Having sha256sum available may be enough, but I haven't looked at that.

I'm generating nightly testing snapshots, and those are incapable of
completing an installation right now due to this issue, which is why I
submitted this.

This may be a bit premature, but my monthly snapshots may be a better
resource to direct users to that want a reliable testing installer.
Well, at least that's the goal anyway ;)
