:On iso images from 25th April onwards, the installer does not work.
:Tried with latest -HEAD and 1.4 release from 25th April and does not work.
:
:Got an iso image of 1.4 release from 23rd April and the installer works.
:Also if I create my own iso image from latest -HEAD, the installer works.
:
:I was told that that's because the version numbers for the installer packages
:were not changed (and because of that all the snapshot building servers
:still use the old non-functioning installer packages?).

    Yah, that's almost certainly the issue.  All that needs to be done
    is to wipe /usr/release/packages on the server and refetch them.  Then
    they should work again.
