Bug Description

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

I've installed Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Xubuntu 7.04 (64-bit editions) on my AMD64. They all got stuck around 86%, "installing language packs", during the installer. This morning, I left Xubuntu running for over an hour, but it still couldn't get past that spot. Previously, I'd just pressed SKIP after 15m or so. Today, perhaps due to letting it run for a longer period, I got the error message:

Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openoffice.org/openoffice.org-common_2.2.0-1ubuntu4_all.deb

And it reported it was in a "broken state". It suggested I look in /var/log/syslog, but unfortunately that - as well as syslog.0 - contained absolutely nothing about it, only output from my reboot into the newly-installed Xubuntu. (I thought it would write the log to HD, but apparently it didn't - maybe I should have checked it while still in the Live CD environment).

As I live in the UK, I'd selected both UK region and keyboard.

Did you have an available Internet connection when the installer hit the "installing language packs" stage?

Yes. I have a modem-router that's always picked up.

Triaged to Incomplete. Sometimes the repository servers go down. Sometimes they are busy. And, rarely, there is a bad package that can hang an install or apt-get update. This looks like a singular event.
