Thank you for the link (I can speak French ;-) ).

While the workaround indeed worked, during the download process I 
noticed that crosshurd automatically took the libslang1-utf8 
package, so I try without the new source you posted. The major 
difference from my first try is that the ftp.gnuab.org archive is 
again on.

I still need to modify slang1 with libslang1 in

   /etc/crosshurd/packages/common

Once done, Crosshurd took the following from ftp.gnuab.org:

   passwd bsdutils coreutils util-linux ifupdown

and the first step (the one before the first reboot) completed 
smoothly. And even the next step (./native-install) worked 
perfectly with no errors.

BTW, once the first native-install finished, I didn't need to 
reboot and start it a second time, as stated in [1] and [2], but 
on the contrary I booted in multi-mode with the console login. Is 
this the correct behavior or am I missed something?

Without the ftp.gnuab.org archive, I got the previous error about

   debianutils inetutils-ping inetutils-syslogd util-linux

So, IMHO the bug is still valid and crosshurd needs to be modified 
(asking for libslang1 and not slang1) and providing that 
ftp.gnuab.org is on.

Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca
