[Bug 1023069] Re: Packages was corrupt

Problem with internet (e.g. fake internet redirect to login page) or
borked up mirror. Try offline installation or a different mirror /
network.

Title:
  Packages was corrupt

Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Doing unattended kickstart-installation and during install I get a red
  screen with "Warning: http://..../ubuntu/dists/precise/restricted
  /binary-amd64/Packages was corrupt."

  I have to click "Continue" to go on.

  The file in question (Packages.gz) is only 20 bytes bit, same file on
  ubuntu-12.04-desktop is a couple of kilobytes, that looks more
  reasonable. "zcat Packages" reports no problem though. It looks like
  an empty .gz-file.

  There is nothing problem with my download. My downloaded iso has md5
  9fcc322536575dda5879c279f0b142d7 just as it shold be.

  Either there is a problem with Packages.gz that should have some
  content, or it is a problem with the installer that detects an empty
  .gz-file as "corrupt". Anyways - it's a bug.
