I can't say I have a workaround, but I did manage to get my machine built after several hours of trying. After the successful copy of files to the target and the failure to install the subsequent packages I switched to recovery mode, specifying the raid mirror as my root filesystem. In this recovery mode I was able to piece by piece build up the system to a working state. Some of the steps I performed in this mode include: * Install the packages listed as failed in /var/log/syslog during the original install attempt, such as mdadm * Perform a find / -name '*.REAL' in the target filesystem. Use these real versions of various executables to overwrite the fake versions. Examples include start-stop-daemon and initctl. * Create a user and add the user to group sudo * I actually wanted a desktop install so I installed ubuntu-desktop. Along the way I had to delete some stale symlinks and run a debconf fix perl script to get packages to install correctly. * I had to install the top-level linux metapackage to get my kernel intalled and install the grub2 package to get it booting. * My first bootup stalled waiting on dhcp. I had to edit /etc/network/interfaces to rename the primary network interface from p8d11something to eth0
