Public bug reported: I downloaded the DVD iso file from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/dvd/current/ and tried to install it. The installation failed like this:
Debbootstrap warning. Warning: file:///cdrom/pool/main/z/zlib/zlib1g_1.2.3.3.dfsg-15ubuntu1_amd64.deb was corrupt and then some consecutive errors. I double-checked the md5sums and they are fine! So I guess the official ISO includes a corrupt file. I also did the automatic check that is offered in the boot menu and it reported two errors (but not which). I finally downloaded the package with the same name from (some legitimate website, I guess it must have been) http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/zlib1g. The package version has a different md5sum and the installation seems to work so far.
