Title:
  [7.10] [xubuntu] Install fails "Failed to determine codename for the
  release"

Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  Install of Xubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) Tribe 1 alternative CD fails
  with the message:

  [!!] Install the base system
  Debootstrap Error
  Failed to determine codename for the release.

  Seems rather trivial, but it refuses to go any further. Hardware is an
  IBM A30 Thinkpad.
