Should really copy & paste errors, as an error in the error can be
confusing :-)

Quite agree. Is there a way to copy and paste during installation? At
this point I was using the text-only console apparently provided by the
installer.

Oh, should have spotted that. I think there is a . . . ah here:

less /var/log/debian-installer/messages

But somehow you would need access to it. :-)

Hang on, when did python become an essential package? This looks like it
is after the installation phase so maybe using script?

During the installation, after the reboot into the new system, it goes
into package-selection mode. It is during this time that it gave me the
choice of choosing categories of packages or individual package
selection. When I ask for the package category "minimal system" here
and nothing else, I have the problems I reported. The installer refused
to get past this point until I specified nothing at all, not even the
so-called "minimal system". But fortunately, the system runs without
the so-called "minimal" system. I presume the dependencies are screwed
up somehow. Is it dselect that the intaller uses for this phase? If
so, I could probably repeat the problem, unless, of course, the
dependencies have been fixed in the meantime.

It may be relevant, and I thing it's mentioned somewhere in the ancient
history of this thread, but it is the AMD64 port I amd having all these
problems with.
