HEAD autopackage doesn't install

I've removed every piece of autopackage from my system, ~/.packages,
~/.local, /usr/*/autopackage, /etc/autopackage, /usr/bin/package...

The target system is ubuntu 7.10.

Trying a clean install of 1.2.5 SYSTEM WIDE loops on the support code
installation. I've tried both with sudo and without (entering the
administration password by hand when prompted), I've also tried to install
by hand autopackage.tar.bz2, anything fails:

sudo bash Autopackage\ Development\ Environment\ 1.2.5.package
[sudo] password for gabry:

The installation of this software requires some additional support
code to be installed.

A] If the support code is found in a local directory, it will be used.
   The file containing the support code will be called:

      "autopackage.tar.bz2"

 or

B] If there is an active Internet connection, the support code will be
   downloaded from:

      "http://autopackage.org/downloads/latest/autopackage.tar.bz2"

   Proxy users should ensure the http_proxy environment variable is
   set, otherwise the download may fail.
