Brian, the first good news: You're a crack troubleshot! That's where it
was at! I'm sorry not to have mentioned that I chose the more manual
install procedure, just to force me to learn more about installing
GNU/Linux. This USB boot stick procedure is described in the Installation
manual in section 4.3.3. But what I hadn't considered was that I'd have to
keep it in mind at the moment of installing additional packages.
Now the other good news:
LC_ALL=C apt-get update
Get:1 file:/mnt/debian stretch InRelease
Ign:1 file:/mnt/debian stretch InRelease
Get:2 file:/mnt/debian stretch Release [18.7 kB]
Get:2 file:/mnt/debian stretch Release [18.7 kB]
Get:3 file:/mnt/debian stretch Release.gpg
Ign:3 file:/mnt/debian stretch Release.gpg
Reading package lists... Done
E: Release file for file:/mnt/debian/dists/stretch/Release is expired
(invalid since 21h 50min 47s). Updates for this repository will not be
applied.
That's actually good news, isn't it? :-)
Well, thanks for your help (and for that of anyone else who participated
in this thread). I have to go through it again...
Thanks
Stephan
