Package: base-installer
Version: 1.130
Hi,
Installing wheezy-amd64 using netboot image (through pxe) or using the mini.iso fails with a red screen "Installation step failed". Installing using debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso works.
Steps to reproduce this issue:
1. Install a new wheezy-amd64 machine (i reproduce the error on servers and VMs) using a
- netboot image : http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz
or
- mini.iso : http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso
2. Go through the installation, during the base-install a red screen will show a "Installation step failed"

I reproduced this error using other mirrors : http://ftp.fr.debian.org, http://ftp2.fr.debian.org, http://ftp.us.debian.org
I believe this problem might be in relation with #703146 - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=703146

Ju

The mirror or something else have broken signatures somewhere. Most
likely it will work if you do it again. It is no bug in the installer
itself.
