Yes.

The issue should be fixed within the next days when I provide updated 
installation
images. I have already asked the responsible maintainer in the 
debian-installer team
to update the apt-setup package so the bug gets fixed.

I'll post new images once the issue has been fixed.

Thanks Adrian.

May this also lead to not be able (due to an unfished "apt" setup) that tasksel 
does not work either? Looks like the sources.list only has the cdrom entries

Cheers

Yes, I have run into this issue as well. It's a result of the package
"debianutils" deprecating the command "tempfile" which apt-setup is
still using in its current version.

The issue has been fixed in Git [1], but the package has not been uploaded
yet.

Re: Updated Debian Ports installation images 2021-09-21

2021-09-22 Thread James Bond
Hi Adrian,

so I gave it directly a try on my Ultra 10 (512MB RAM, 440 MHz, stock PGX24 
onboard) and a 20 GB IDE.

CD boots fine (less errors than the 10.0 netinst with regards to RTC etc).

Installation works till the point where the configuration of the package 
manager takes place which leads to an "unfinished" installation (did the grub 
installation afterwards from the menu). 

Having a look into /var/log/installer I can see.

"Configuring ' apt-setup-udeb' failed with error code 127"

Best

Iggi

Ps: Can I run the "debian-installer" from CD again (without booting)

Hello!

I just built a fresh set of Debian Ports installation images which are
using the latest Debian unstable kernel 5.14.6.

The images have not been tested as I currently cannot start my testvm
on the SPARC server I usually use for testing, so testing is currently
up to the users.

Since kernel version 5.12, Linux is finally working on larger ia64 systems
such as the RX2800 again where the kernel previously failed to boot. So,
if anyone has such a machine and wants to install it, it should now work.

On some ia64 machines, it may be necessary to pass the option

"hardened_usercopy=off"

on the kernel command line. For that, press "e" on the GRUB menu and
append the line above without quotes to the boot command.

PowerMac installation should also work with these images again, although
I haven't tested that yet.
