Package: cdrom Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
When installatie a 4.x (etch) netinst image which I had lying around, the install just silently hung after selecting the roles the system had to perform. The message on the install-console was that it was busy, but nothing happened. Digging deeper, finally the output shown in the output from the underlying installation scripts (Alt-F4), showed what had happened: the PGP-keyring was out of date, and the big 'apt-get install <loads-of-packages' command was waiting for input from the user, to confirm to continue with an untrusted PGP key. However, this message from apt-get was never forwarded to the installation screens, which was just hanging there with a yellow bar at ~10% progress. It would be wise to fix this, especially if the same can happen with the current installation (5.x/lenny). At the very least, the installing user should be made aware he/she is installing a rather out-of-date system, and whether to reconsider. It would probably also be handy if a user who knows what they're doing, could push through this install, and install anyway. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
