Do you mind to download the image again and test?
It looks up to date:

Hi Otavio,
Thank you for your reply. You are absolutely correct that both netboot
images have been updated on April 8. If you unpack the tarballs, you'll
notice that the kernel and initrd files themselves have been updated
around the same date as well.
My point is that if you unpack the initrd files, the contained
/usr/share/keyrings/archive.gpg file isn't the same between the i386
initrd and the amd64 initrd (to be honest I'm not sure if it's supposed
to be identical). Anyway, when trying to use the amd64 netboot.tar.gz
for a netinstall, it fails with the error Downloading a file failed
while the i386 version works just fine.
# mkdir amd64 i386
# ( cd amd64 wget
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/etch/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz
)
# ( cd i386 wget
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/etch/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz
)
# ls -al amd64/netboot.tar.gz i386/netboot.tar.gz

-rw-r--r-- 1 pvdputte pvdputte 5561045 2009-04-08 11:03
i386/netboot.tar.gz
So these are the same files as yours (disregarding the timezone difference).
Unpack:
# ( cd amd64/ tar zxf netboot.tar.gz )
# ( cd i386/ tar zxf netboot.tar.gz )
# ls -al amd64/debian-installer/amd64/{initrd*,linux*}

Nothing out of the ordinary so far.
Now unpack the initrd's and compare the archive.gpg files:
# ( cd initrd-amd64/ gzip -dc
/tmp/amd64/debian-installer/amd64/initrd.gz | cpio -id )
# ( cd initrd-i386/ gzip -dc
/tmp/i386/debian-installer/i386/initrd.gz | cpio -id )
# ls -al initrd-{amd64,i386}/usr/share/keyrings/archive.gpg
-rw-r--r-- 1 pvdputte pvdputte 4148 2009-06-16 10:42
initrd-amd64/usr/share/keyrings/archive.gpg
-rw-r--r-- 1 pvdputte pvdputte 5801 2009-06-16 10:42
initrd-i386/usr/share/keyrings/archive.gpg
You can see that the i386 archive.gpg file is clearly larger.
If you were now to repack the amd64 initrd with the i386 archive.gpg
file, you would see that the installer would now be back in working
order (no more Downloading a file failed error causing installation to
halt).
# cp /tmp/initrd-i386/usr/share/keyrings/archive.gpg
/tmp/initrd-amd64/usr/share/keyrings/archive.gpg
# cd /tmp/initrd-amd64 find . | cpio -H newc -o /tmp/initrd
# gzip /tmp/initrd

This is indeed a problem; probably the package were not up to date on
the used mirror :(
RM team,
Is there a way to update the installer in case?

If it's binNMU safe, we could try a binNMU, otherwise it's best to
either do a porter NMU if possible or a sourceful upload otherwise.
The resulting package will be in oldstable-proposed-updates till the
next oldstable point release.
Cheers
Luk

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!
