What is the full command line you are using? From the looks of the error message
you passed ftp://ftp.tudelft.nl/pub/Linux/archive.ubuntu.com/ as the distro
location which isn't valid. There should certainly be a nicer error message though,
but this section of the code is a mess anyways and really needs to be slimmed
down.
Also I assume you are trying to install a qemu/kvm guest?
Thanks,
Cole
