Hi and thanks for your report. It looks like the installer crashed during the last stages of the install trying try to do an apt update but the mirror was in the middle of a sync:

You should be able to try again with better results. If not, try an offline install too. If that works then we can investigate if there's issues with the mirror syncing correctly.
