Re: Error : Unable to install initrd-tools during installation of etch
This is probably caused by the recent (2005-10-18) migration into
testing of apt 0.6, with support for cryptographic authentication of
package. See also the changes for debootstrap, which propogated to
testing last night:
debootstrap (0.3.1.9) unstable; urgency=HIGH
* NMU
* Replace the etch script with a copy of the sid script, which pulls in
gnupg, so the installed etch system has a usable apt. Closes: #334521

So as soon as the testing CDs get rebuilt, you should be good to go.
