I get an error report on installing Ubuntu 8.10 via 
ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso (got it as well before with the rc). I tried on 
a primary partition (second one) on a Toshiba Portege M700 (Sata 2.5" HD). 
The fault appears if I try to install on a pre-existing partition or a newly 
created one by Ubuntu installer CD.

It tells me:

Debootstrap-warning: Failure trying to run: chroot /target dpkg --force-
depends --install
var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.8~20080505-0ubuntu7_i386.deb


On Screen 4 it tells me about:

debootstrap:
Package libc6 is not installed.
dpkg depends on coreutils (>=5.93-1); however: Package coreutils is not 
installed

dpkg: error processing libc6 (--install):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 25
Errors were encountered while processing: libc6


Can anyone give me a hint besides wiping the partition table since on primary 
partition 1 is my Windows installation. 

I consider this to be a bug in hardware detection.
