Yes, same here:

sh-3.1# ls -l /var/cache/apt/
total 5252
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root    12288 Dec 22 04:41 archives
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12582912 Dec 22 04:45 pkgcache.bin
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root     8554 Dec 22 04:45 srcpkgcache.bin

Gordon, does it fail for you where it normally does (installing
initramfs-tools) or much later?  For me, the installer was able to
install initramfs-tools and the kernel, but apt now hangs at "Select
and install software".
