It might be that the installer obtained the package listing in the
beginning of the session and some packages have been updated by the time
it tries to download it? Had the same problem with mirror, I end up
running it a couple of times making sure the latest packages are
downloaded. Could the installer be patched so that it re-download the
package listing when such errors occur? Then again, not a big problem
when 7.1 is released.
