Karl,

This could be some weird mount issue. or a directory in place where a
symlink should be in the package...

Can you "Cancel" out of setup?  If so, look at the resultant
/var/log/setup.log.full for clues.  If not, run setup under gdb - even
with a non-debug version, the log messages should be printed on the
console, and you'll able to see them.

I think someone also reported similar behavior when the package file was
corrupted.  Try downloading the package using 'wget' instead, and check
its MD5 sum.  Also, try to 'tar tjf' the package tarball.
