I ran into exactly the same problem when I first installed my EM64T box. It had an unset hardware clock (set to 1-1-197x) and that screwed up signature verification during pkgsel. I remember setting the clock correctly in the chroot; not sure if I ran an apt-get update too. Anyway, in the end I was able to continue. Anyway, my guess is that the unset hwclock that Martin mentioned in his mail is the root cause here. A quick test in vmware with the clock in BIOS set to 1-1-1981 reproduces the error and thus seems to confirm this. The only difference may be that in this test extra packages (apt-install run) install correctly. It's only at pkgsel that things fail. After only changing the clock pkgsel still fails; running apt-get update in the chroot allows to continue.
