unable to locate any package files

Binary package hint: base-installer

I just tried installing Gutsy from the latest Kubuntu Alternate CD: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/daily/current/gutsy-alternate-amd64.iso

(Manual) partitioning, network setup, etc. seem to be working fine. But the installation is failing during base-install. This is on an AMD64 with two S-ATA disks. The first disk sda holds a primary partition with /boot and a logical partition that is managed by LVM. The second disk sdb is managed entirely by LVM. The install CD is read with an ordinary IDE (ATA) DVD writer.

This is the output I have on console 4 after the installation failed:

I can proceed manually with:

$ debootstrap gutsy /target
$ chroot /target
$ mount /dev/hdb /cdrom # This step seems to be missing and causing the failure in the installer
$ apt-cdrom add
$ apt-get update

This was caused by bug 131961, and should be fixed now.
