Bug#533091: archive.gpg in amd64 netboot.tar.gz for etch
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in the initrd is out of date, but only in the amd64 netinstaller for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 Because it's out of date it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
