Hi again Lubuntu users and developers,

The bug, that I think targets debootstrap

'failure while configuring required package while installing Lubuntu
alternate'

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debootstrap/+bug/1596279

is very bad. It makes it impossible to use current daily Lubuntu 
alternate iso file

737M	2016-06-30	15:54	"xenial-alternate-i386.iso"

$ md5sum xenial-alternate-i386.iso
f0ce67124a8c7d5b432f8e58ed7f5dab  xenial-alternate-i386.iso

I have tested in two computers, a few days ago and again today in

1. my 'default' testbench, a Toshiba laptop with Intel i5 from 2013

2. a desktop computer with AMD Athlon from 2008

I don't think the bug is affecting only some particular hardware, I 
think it is a 'software' bug.

This bug needs confirmation:

Please check if it affects you too, and in that case, please mark that 
it affects you in the bug report!

Best regards
Nio
