Sorry, but it's been a decade or so since I tested the Hurd for a short
period of time, and I am not familiar at all with problems like this.

In fact, I think that I never relied on aptitude and CDs in any Debian
system for more than a decade either.

We are going to have more clues or extra help from somebody if this bug
is to be addressed.


Cheers.
