[Cooker] Can't install Cooker ISOs since Jun 3

[Frank Griffin]

I've entered bug 4057 about this, but I wanted to ask here just to see 
if I'm the only one experiencing this.

I've been building and installing Cooker ISOs for over a year without 
problems.  The installs are always full installs, with Custom Disk 
Assignment of just a root ext2 partition and a full format of same.  
Nothing fancy.

Somewhere on or after June 3, the ISOs stopped installing.  The install 
formats the root partition, goes to "looking for available packages", 
and hangs or loops there (I can't tell which) until you reboot.  I've 
left it for several hours on some occasions.

I've tried running gendistrib, with no effect.  I've even re-downloaded 
a fresh Cooker tree, still with no effect. 

I've included report.bug as well as the stdout/stderr from MakeCD in the 
bug report, but MakeCD puts out so much stuff that I never know what's 
significant and what's not.

Has anyone else been able to install from CDs burned from Cooker since 
June 3 ?
