Re-installed today without an error. I am happy to write this off as a
temporary inconsistency in the archives while I was doing my
installation.

Title:
  oneiric network install fails because of a failed dependency in kbd

Status in “kbd” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I am performing a preseeded, network install of the current AMD64
  Oneiric server from archive.ubuntu.com and monitoring it via a serial
  console. The installation fails because it cannot complete installing
  'kbd'.

  I am passing the following kernel parameters via the pxelinux config
  file:

  LABEL install
          kernel oneiric-amd64
