Comment 5 for bug 806076

You don't need to explain why this is an important problem - I understand.

However, I don't seem to be able to reproduce this here. My Internet connection is very slow, apparently rather similar to yours, so I cannot easily experiment with different options until I hit on the one that matches what you did. Could you tell me exactly which software collections you selected to install at the "Choose software to install:" prompt?

It would also help if you could attach /var/log/installer/syslog from an installation that had this problem. Ideally, it should be an installation performed with the DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer boot parameter passed to the installer (although in that case make sure not to use a valuable password).
