Odd, works for me.  I'm connecting to the main Ximian mirror, if that
makes a difference, though it shouldn't.  You should be able to upgrade
to the packages on the DVD, though.

FWIW, there's no reason to remove and reinstall.  I did something
similar in order to reproduce your problem, but you shouldn't need to do
that. ;-)
