My first guess - when digging into the problem - was there is a
difference using "-t live.debian.net" repository or not.
It looked that dropping it, let me build an hybrid-iso sucessfully.
The time-window I was testing >=1h.
So waiting ten minutes seems to me not an adequate time period.
In a 3rd run I had problems getting wget downloaded, beforehand it was
somewhere after whiptail installation/configuration as I added
"wpasupplicant" to --packages of "lh/lb config".
The questions:
Why does the build via live-build fails?
lb config ... --packages "... wpasupplicant" -r live.debian.net <----
not conform?
I asked on IRC and looked again into the logs of lh/lb build...
Problems with the mirrors :-)???

Thanks for the explanations.

This link is dead.
Listing <http://cdn.debian.net/debian/project/trace/> shows the links
is gone, but "Apache/2.2.15 (Fedora) Server at cdn.debian.net Port 80"
:-).

This was the first time, I had problems with cdn.debian.net service
(compared with dozens of sucessful runs).
In grml project I wrote a wish bug-report to use it.
Sorry to tell you I won't use cdn.debian.net service in the next time
as I have to concentrate on testing and giving feedback on the debian
installer (GUI).
The situation for testing is really hard enough:
The network configuration for WLAN is WEP-only, I can't use LAN (no
long cable) or am I willing to carry my notebook in front of my
router. Hey, my first router with WEP-feature I got 2003, guys we have
now 2010 :-) and WPA/WPA2 is what you should use (not to speak of
security concerns).
Currently, my idea on this is... use wpasupplicant in live-cd mode and
hope the installer (GUI) uses the network configuration of the host.
So this excursion in things of "mirrors" throw me back in testing,
never mind... we learned about live-build/mirrors usage/problems.
Hope, you can understand my situation and decision.

cdn.debian.net is a nice and helpful service, keep on the good work!
