During the installation, after the reboot into the new system, it goes
into package-selection mode. It is during this time that it gave me the
choice of choosing categories of packages or individual package
selection. When I ask for the package category "minimal system" here
and nothing else, I have the problems I reported. The installer refused
to get past this point until I specified nothing at all, not even the
so-called "minimal system". But fortunately, the system runs without
the so-called "minimal" system. I presume the dependencies are screwed
up somehow. Is it dselect that the intaller uses for this phase? If
so, I could probably repeat the problem, unless, of course, the
dependencies have been fixed in the meantime.

It may be relevant, and I thing it's mentioned somewhere in the ancient
history of this thread, but it is the AMD64 port I amd having all these
problems with.
