I waited as advised, edited my sources.list, tried again to install, and got 
the same problem.

I have, however found both a workaround and the explanation for why Tim, at 
least, hadn't hit this particular problem.

I was using aptitude.  By switching to apt-get I was able to start installing. 

I wasn't able to finish, but that is another problem.  I got a load of 404s.  
I am assuming eagerness by many to try the new rc combined with low 
bandwidth, so shall try at daily intervals for a bit.
