Could you try the latest install-pkgs.sh script?  (It looks like you
had a different problem than the others, so I'm not expecting it to
work, but one never knows.)  If it fails again, send me the
install-pkgs.log file and also the log file for the manual (either
main.log if you're compiling the English version, or the
ubuntu-manual-XX.log if you're compiling for another language).

Thanks!
