It may pay to test the CD/DVD drive. I've had odd problems like this
and traced it to the optical hardware.
In one instance the download was fine but the burn to a DVD turned out
to be bad, but it passed verification. Checking on another machine the
burnt disk failed MD5.
Since then I've made a point of comparing the MD5 given by K3B with the
reference
One way of checking the optical drive is to test a known good DVD by
having the disk check itself and comparing the checksums.
HTH.

I tried now to a very clean machine (my builder == not containing
anything other than the basic system). To:
aptitude install desktop-base-trinity kde-trinity
I get:
0 packages upgraded, 553 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not
upgraded. Need to get 367 MB of archives. After unpacking 950 MB
will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?]
That's what I expected, what had previously happened and what I did.
The question is: is the problem hardware, software or mushyware (my
brain)? And what do I do about it??
Thanks for your reply, Slavek. :-)
