I've tried the download and install four times now, with various unsuccessful workaround attempts, including explicitly skipping this package. The install just fails on another one. I also tried several different mirrors. The install is to Windows XP, with SP2, as Administrator. The failure is more of a spin than a freeze -- it's spinning using large amounts of CPU. I'm very glad to see that this is a known problem. I'm not on the list, but was just browsing the archives. I've also seen the similar problem post by Carlo Florendo on Tuesday, Nov. 9 (on winXP sp2, setup loops forever when installing xorg-base). Many thanks.
