  • Installer doesn't find the mirrors

    From David VANTYGHEM@21:1/5 to All on Sun Apr 9 22:10:01 2023

    Hello,

    I'm trying again to install Debian in a AQEMU virtual machine. I'm using
    this ISO : https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/snapshots/2022-12-09/debian-11.0.0-powerpc-NETINST-1.iso

    Installation works until I must choose a mirror. I tried defaults
    mirrors and  http:, ftp.ports.debian.org, /debian-ports/ too but the installer can't access to them.

    I'm using this AQEMU configuration:

    /usr/bin/qemu-system-ppc -monitor stdio -k fr -machine accel=tcg -m 512
    -drive file="/home/david/Documents/Informatique/Documentation/Macintosh/debian-11.0.0-powerpc-NETINST-1.iso",media=cdrom
    -drive
    file="/home/david/Documents/Informatique/Documentation/Macintosh/Debian
    + LXDE sur iMac G3.vmdk",if=ide,media=disk -boot once=d,menu=on -net nic,macaddr=00:e0:4c:2c:09:45,model=rtl8139 -net user -rtc
    base=localtime -name "Debian + LXDE sur iMac G3" -M mac99

    If someone could help me please. I have no idea of the problem.

    Please provide the syslog file that is stored as /var/log/syslog during installation. It’s otherwise not possible to debug the problem.

    Your issue is in French, but it looks like the one I recently faced as well if I am reading it correctly.

    I fixed it using the information on this page:


    https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/75807/no-public-key-available-on-apt-get-update


    I hope this helps you too.

    Ken

    Ugh, Debian has chronic problems in key management for ports. I've got
    half a dozen to a dozen Chroot's for testing that have been broken for
    months.

    I really wish they would fix them and stop this madness.

    There are no »chronic« problems. It’s intentional that keys expire.

    I really wish they would fix them and stop this madness.

    I will create new images next week which addresses this problem.

    This does not appear to have happened (new images)

    Is it something you can automate, or quasi-automate?

    Unfortunately not. It requires some manual intervention at the moment, especially for the PowerPC images as I have to manually inject the
    hfsprogs and partman-hfs packages into debian-installer.

    Also, one always needs to make sure that the kernel in the debian-installer image matches the kernel that is currently in unstable, otherwise you get kernel/module version mismatch.

    The former issue could be resolved if someone could find out how to boot
    a PowerPC Mac from a FAT32 boot partition. It's supposed to work but I never verified that.

    If someone could test that, I can implement that and we won't have to resort
    to HFS which causes some headache since the APSL license of hfsprogs is considered non-free by Debian.
