We went to another tty and can see that that file is on the CD in dir
/pool/main/g/gcc2.95/libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2_2.95.4-11woody1_i386.deb and
its size is so 142324 bytes. We can also use cp to copy it to /tmp so
its certainly readable.
I wonder if this is the problem????
The installation guide says...
"CD's 2 through 5 will each boot a different ``flavor'' depending on which CD-ROM is inserted. See Choosing the Right Installation Set, etc...
CD 5
Boots the `bf2.4' flavor.
I don't think that is the problem. I have done several successful bf2.4 installs by specifying it (as I assume you did) when booting from CD1.
I think you are right about the CD problem. And in fact, it may be the file called "Packages" which I think is used to verify the details and location of all the packages. Probably the one in \dists\woody\main\binary-i386. There appears to be a backup version of this file in Packages.gz. You might want to compare them.
If you have enough spare disk space, you might want to copy the CD to this spare space, replace the Packages file and do the install from disk rather than CD.
You can probably also get the MD5 sum of the libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 package (from the Packages file) and independently verify the file is correct.
