I found the bugger. The reason is that some packages needed to be overrided to make the installation work. This is my override used for etch: gnupg Priority important libdb4.3 Priority required laptop-detect Priority important console-common Priority optional console-data Priority optional console-tools Priority optional dhcp-client Priority important gettext-base Priority important gettext-base Section utils > Now my question is - do I need to rebuild the initrd, and get my gpg on > the initrd, or am I missing something? Well, I could hack only the existing inird.gz, but I found it easier to build my own initrd.gz using debian-installer, and provide my own trusted keyring. I also think I needed to build my own apt, with my own trusted keyring, to make the installer work without problem. On a longer term, I'll try to copy the already existing key from the installer into the chroot, but that will have to wait. -- Finn-Arne Johansen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bzz.no/ Debian-edu developer and Solution provider EE2A71C6403A3D191FCDC043006F1215062E6642 062E6642 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
