If so, I'll get a copy of the beta1 CD1 image as well.Yeah, my ignorant guess would be that it was CD-specific.
I tested both the powerpc-xfce+lxde-CD-1 and the amd64-netinst beta-1 install CDs. Neither showed the "aptitude not found" problem, so I think it's been fixed.
When writing the yaboot bootloader, the PowerPC install failed to notice two partitions from previous installations that contained bootable Debian root filesystems. So the created yaboot.conf only lists the partition to which I was installing. This is annoying, but not a show-stopper. It's almost certainly not related to bug 682946. I'll file a separate installation report for it.
