What is strange is that I *do* see a dists/bionic/main/dist-upgrader/binary-all/Packages file in the current daily amd64 image (20180215). I don't know why this file exists, given that this directory is not an apt source. I do not know why base-installer is trying to parse it, given that it's not referenced in the Releases file for the CD. I do not know why the stat is reported to fail given that the file clearly exists (and is empty).

Answering any one of these questions is likely to yield a solution for this bug.
