Install MacOS Catalina fails with error “The operation couldn’t be completed. (PKDownloadError error 8.)”

Twice now this happened. I googled and found this: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250713303

It says the issue is fixed in 10.15.1. Also in one of the comments, a user says,” I started getting this error after trying to to do a clean install of Catalina on my iMac. I entered the Recovery mode, erased the primary drive, and tried to do an install of Catalina. It would run for an hour or more and then I would get this error. I thought this may be related to my connectivity issues so I tried using different wireless networks and dragging an ethernet cable through my house to the router but with no success.

I believe repartitioning the drive was the mistake. Catalina uses a split drive setup where all of the system files are on an inaccessible system partition and the user files are on a separate partition. I believe that by creating a single partition drive the Catalina installer was unable to properly partition the disk and would stall until the Internet connection was finally dropped and the installation failed.”
