[Bug 875460] Re: Installation of 11.10 fails because it cannot find the correct mirror

[ojordan]

For any future people affected by this bug, I've added a possible
workaround to the PowerPC Known Issues page
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCKnownIssues .  There is also included
what I think is the cause (in the choose-mirror package), but this needs
testing or somebody with more knowledge than me looking at it!
