I saw that the graphical images weren't available any more so I
disabled them. From the last discussion I saw fly past, it looks like
the lack of graphical images is a known feature. I'm getting dozens of
complaints every time the weekly builds fail these days, so with no
further information to go on and no warning from the d-i folks I took
this choice.
It's getting painful using the daily-built d-i images for the weekly
testing CDs, as the number of broken builds is very high. I would
really *really* like to see d-i properly integrated into the archive
and uploaded periodically so it can migrate to testing, as we've
discussed in the past many times. The current situation is a train
wreck.
