"Wicked" resolver error

[John Christian]

Ok, got my Packages.gz problem fixed ... now I've run into another 
barrier ...

So, I've gotten the base network install done, and have re-booted onto 
the kernel running on my hard drive, which brings me to the inital 
configuration menu.  After flipping through the usual inital setup menus 
(root password, other users) It attempts to download more packages, 
which is where it's barfing.  The error string looks like:

Error: something wicked while resolving "http.us.debian.org:http"

Now, that /:http$/ is a bit odd ... I'm not using any proxy ... and I'm 
PRESUMABLY getting my resolver set via DHCP (which worked when booting 
off the install disk), though there's no way I can see to verify this.

I've heard that there was a 2.2.* kernel that had a bug in it's resolver 
routines which could cause this (I'm using whichever kernel comes with 
"woody")?  But, looking at that odd string, I'd think this a 
configuration issue ... I tried tweaking the proxy settings to make the 
string "http.us.debian.org:80", but I still get a resolver error.
