Yes. I"ve been using Debian since Sarge. So, this isn"t my first

rodeo. But this is the first time I"ve ever had this occur. I"m

beginning to think this might be an installer "problem" (I did a

terminal only mnimal install to begin with) even though sources.list

and configs look okay. I"m going to do a "default" install with the

LXDE desktop and see if I have the same problem.

Since you insist without any evidence that apt-get does a better

job, can you spare us the courtesy of telling us what mirror are

you using?  It is a possible explanation, since you "verified" that

auto-upgrade is not installed (or was uninstalled after your installation

maybe).  And mirrors have failed in the past.
