Installation problems on ws2008



Hi,
I've been trying to setup debian-interix for some days now, but I can't get it too install.
I tried it in a VM and my real machine, both fails with the same error:

$ ksh setup
E: Invalid Release file, no valid components

I figured out so far that this error is related to sed, in the debootstrap.log I always see these lines:
/tmp/install/sed[1]: MZ?ÿÿ¸@€º´: not found
/tmp/install/sed[2]:  ³ÁÃEl: not found
/tmp/install/sed[3]: syntax error: `(' unexpected
/tmp/install/sed[1]: MZ?ÿÿ¸@€º´: not found
/tmp/install/sed[2]:  ³ÁÃEl: not found
/tmp/install/sed[3]: syntax error: `(' unexpected
/tmp/install/sed[1]: MZ?ÿÿ¸@€º´: not found
/tmp/install/sed[2]:  ³ÁÃEl: not found
/tmp/install/sed[3]: syntax error: `(' unexpected
mv: rename ///var/lib/apt/lists/ to ///var/lib/apt/lists/.malformed: Invalid argument

Furthermore, if I replace 
TMPCOMPONENTS="$(sed -n 's/Components: *//p' $reldest)"
with
TMPCOMPONENTS="main non-free"
then it passes the error but gives out
E: Invalid Release file, no entry for main/binary-interix-i386/Packages
instead. And so far I haven't managed it to get around this error.

I've tried the installation with SUA 6.0 SP1 + KB959543 on Windows Server 2008 Datacenter x86 edition and with SUA SDK options
  - Utilities -> Base Utilities
  - Interix GNU Components -> Interix GNU Utilities
  - Interix GNU SDK
I know that in the hotfix list KB959543 is recommended too for my platform, but I found it nowhere (well yeah, I could contact Microsoft, if that's required) and I guess that a fix for DST timezones won't solve my problem.
Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.
