Debian install - perl error

[matik]

Hi,

I've been trying to install Debian onto a 4GB sdhc following the instructions at cyrius.com. Everything goes fine and the installer starts installing the base packages until it tries to install perl. I get the following error:
failure trying to run: chroot /target dpkg --force-depends --install /var/cache/apt/archives/perl-base_5.10.1-8_armel.deb

I've tried this a couple of times, but always get the same error. Does anyone have any thoughts on why this occurs?
