I'm happy to report my first amd64 installation (Aug 15th monolithic onto an ASUS A8V Deluxe) went smoothly except for the problem with none of the packages passing the debsig-verify function so nothing would install. After doing: cd /usr/bin mv debsig-verify debsig-verify.real ln -s /bin/true debsig-verify everything else proceeded smoothly. Thanks to everyone who made the port happen. --Pete
