Package: installation-reports


Hi,
For some time now, I've been running into the problem where I just get the error "Downloading a file failed" in the initial stages of installation, but I didn't get around to finding the cause until recently. As far as I can tell, the /usr/share/keyrings/archive.gpg file in the initrd is out of date, but only in the amd64 netinstaller for etch. The i386 netinstaller works just fine. Because it's out of date it cannot verify the authenticity of the Release file.
So I tried replacing the /usr/share/keyrings/archive.gpg file in the amd64 initrd with the same file from the i386 initrd. Problem solved! 

Greetings,

Pascal
