etch install CD unable to install
Hi,
Today (october 21st 2005) I downloaded and tried to install
debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso.
It fails during the install process with the following message:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[!!] Install base-system
Unable to install initrd-tools
An error was returned while trying to install the initrd-tools package
onto the target system.
Check /var/log/syslog or see virtual console 3 for details.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
On virtual console 3 I can read:
Setting up base-config (2.73) ...
Ign. file: etch Release.gpg
Get: 1 file: etch Release [806B]
Fetched 806B in 0s (5585B/s)
Reading package lists ...
as the last message on the screen.
The last part of /var/log/syslog reads:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
apt-install: WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
apt-install: dash cramfsprogs initrd-tools
apt-install: E: There are problems and -y was not used without --force-yes
base-installer: error: exiting on error
base-installer/kernel/failed-package-install
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The .deb files for dash, cramfsprogs and initrd-tools are present on the CD.
