Package: base-config Version: 2.73 I have downloaded the etch netinst-cd image so that I can perform a clean install of etch on my compaq evo desktop.
The install goes fine, detected hardware OK, configured network (manually), partitioned disk. The problem came when 'installing base system' I nearly finishes the base-installer but fails at the end of the process. Looking at Virtual-Console3 I see the following: Setting up base-config (2.73) ... Ign file: etch Release.gpg Get:1 file: etch Release [806B] Fetched 806B in 0/s (0B/s) Reading package lists... Then in Virtual-Console2 I tail /var/log/syslog I see: Oct 23 10:25:40 apt-install: WARNING: The following packages could not be authenticated! Oct 23 10:25:40 apt-install: dash cramfsprogs initrd-tools Oct 23 10:25:40 apt-install: E: There are problems are -y was used without --force-yes Oct 23 10:25:40 base-installer: error: error on base-installer/kernel/failed-package-install So I suspect there is something wrong with the signing of the packages. I am going to go back to sarge for the moment and maybe do an apt-get dist-upgrade from there. Thanks Mark Johnson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
