Can you please provide the exact log output? A photo is also fine.

Bug#951749: System installation hangs on decompressing tzdata

[Rahul Martim Juliato]

Package: tzdata


System install hangs on trying to uncompress tzdata.


I tried with the mini image, DVD and DVD without network (hoping it would
force not to download anything and using what is on DVD)


But in all tries the installation hangs (both on graphical and text)
just after tzdata is being uncompressed.


After a red screen said it tried 5 times and cannot continue, I went to
sheel and was able to read something like this on the log:


debootstrap: dpkg: error while cleaning up
debootstrap: unable to trstore backup version of
'/usr/share/zoneinfo/right/Australi...' and many other lines similary to
this.


Version I was unable to install is 10.3.0-amd64-DVD1.iso

I was using a VirtualBox VM.

Thanks.
