I'm not sure it's the exact same problem I encountered, but just a few 
days ago I worked around it using a standard Etch netinst CD (no 
daily, no weekly) and this suggestion: http://snipurl.com/1b5pm

etch installer hanging on packages

2007-03-02 Thread Kevin Scott Sumner 

Hi all,

We've been using preseeds with etch since December for testing.  Recently, 
something has broken these installs.  I suspect the recent key switch on the 
repositories.


The installer goes through all steps and does everything correctly, getting 
network, grabbing preseed.cfg, partitioning, etc.  The problem comes at Select 
and install software progress bar -- it halts at 5%.  Syslog on console 4 says 
that apt is trying to grab some packages (nice long list -- includes at, bc, 
exim4*, and python, just to name a few).  Then it gives the following:


Mar  2 09:15:07 in-target: WARNING: UNTRUSTED VERSIONS OF THE FOLLOWING 
PACKAGES WILL BE INSTALLED!

Mar  2 09:15:07 in-target:
Mar  2 09:15:07 in-target: Untrusted packages could compromise your system's 
security
Mar  2 09:15:07 in-target: You should only preceed with the installation if you 
are certain that

Mar  2 09:15:07 in-target: this is what you want to do.
Mar  2 09:15:07 in-target:
Mar  2 09:15:07 in-target:   apt-utils coreutils apt libldap2
Mar  2 09:15:07 in-target: Do you want to ignore this warning and proceed 
anyway?

Mar  2 09:15:07 in-target: To continue, enter Yes; to abort, enter No:

So, there's a prompt... that I can't put Yes into b/c it's stdin is somewhere 
in installer-land.  Three days ago, the list of packages was just libldap2 -- 
apt-utils, coreutils, and apt are new this morning.


This happened with the etch RC1 netinst media, the 20070227-1 nightly and last 
weeks weekly.  The dailys and weeklys I'm using are from here:

  http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/

Anyone know what's going on?  Any ideas or clues would be helpful.

Thanks,
Kevin

I filed a bug report for this (Bug#412378), and a fix will be in etch
within a few days.
