Description:
The configurations files were empty and I couldn't write in them, because the Installation was not concluded, but it didn't told me!!
Now I realized it didn't find the usbtools package, just download the other ones and all looked fine, so I returned to main menu and try next step.
So I tried again without it and it installed fine, and I have normal configuration files with the exact thing I was asking for. So it wasn't supposed to be what I saw, another bug.
It should tell me that the Installation is not completed when I try to enter at Configuration.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
Try easynews http mirror, i686 install with GUI, select usbtools from core.
It downloads all other packages but doesn't install any because it could retrieve this one.
The final window from this step looks good, so the user could attempt the next step.
It shows the configuration files, all empty and without write permissions because they aren't mounted.
This task depends upon

Sounds like a out of sync mirror.
