It seems related to this problem :

>Hi,

>This is an old bug which frequently happens to me as well (using fai
2.4.1). It has something to do with the huge list of packages being sent
to apt-get, which clogs it up somehow. You can make the install continue
by killing off one of the "tee"s that is running (ps aux | grep tee).
This doesn't make the installation very automatic, though... A better
solution is to split the package list into smaller chunks (IIRC Thomas
has added support for this). Maybe I should upgrade too :->
