This listing is a little different to what I got. For me,
srcpkgcache.bin did not exist when apt eventually finished. Did you
notice whether the install took a lot longer than usual ?


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".


apt didn't hang for me, it just took 20 to 30 minutes to complete
building the package database. Usually, it takes less than a minute.
The installer stopped because it could not find a kernel to install. I
have seen this failure mde before, and as you have previously pointed
out, is probably the same problem (corrupted apt cache files), just a
different manifestation.
