So I just downloaded the debian-hurd-20220824.img, which looks like the latest debian image. I ran it in qemu with: qemu-system-i386 -machine accel=kvm -display curses -net nic -m 4G -net user,hostfwd=tcp::5555-:22 --no-reboot -drive format=raw,cache=writeback,file=debian-hurd-20220824.img I did try updating to bleeding edge Debian GNU/Hurd via this guide: https://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-install Specifically If you have used a snapshot later than the 2021 release, you can add these sources to get the most recent packages: deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-ports unstable main deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian unstable main deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-ports unreleased main Update, install the debian-ports-archive-keyring package, and update again. If when doing your first apt, dpkg complains of missing programs, get root in a login shell (i.e. su -, not just su). So I did add these sources to /etc/apt/sources.list. I tried updating with "sudo apt update; sudo apt upgrade" I got error messages saying that this was an insecure operation and apt was not going to let me upgrade. :( Perhaps I should have tried "su -", then tried upgrading. Can anyone else confirm that the latest qemu image does not have the proper debian-ports-archive-keyring package installed? Do we need to update the debian qemu image? I was able to upgrade to the latest hurd via wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/debian-ports-archive-keyring/debian-ports-archive-keyring_2023.02.01_all.deb dpkg -i debian-ports-archive-keyring_2023.02.01_all.deb apt upgrade apt dist-upgrade I know that is insecure, but I couldn't figure out how else to upgrade. Also it looks like a have rumpdisk booting on my debian qemu machine. Good times!
