I have just tried with the same image (for i386), using ftp.nl.d.o as mirror without any problems. My log looks similar to you, except that I get good signatures... From my log: Mar 16 17:41:08 choose-mirror[6970]: INFO: suite/codename set to: stable/lenny [...] Mar 16 16:42:18 main-menu[1044]: INFO: Menu item 'bootstrap-base' selected Mar 16 16:42:21 debootstrap: gpgv: Mar 16 16:42:21 debootstrap: Signature made Fri Jan 29 23:18:35 2010 UTC using RSA key ID 55BE302B Mar 16 16:42:21 debootstrap: gpgv: Mar 16 16:42:21 debootstrap: Good signature from "Debian Archive Automatic Signing Key (5.0/lenny) <ftpmas...@debian.org>" Mar 16 16:42:21 debootstrap: Mar 16 16:42:21 debootstrap: gpgv: Mar 16 16:42:21 debootstrap: Signature made Fri Jan 29 23:25:01 2010 UTC using DSA key ID F42584E6 Mar 16 16:42:21 debootstrap: gpgv: Mar 16 16:42:21 debootstrap: Good signature from "Lenny Stable Release Key <debian-rele...@lists.debian.org>" I wonder if somehow the files are getting corrupted during download. Can you copy the following two files from the installer after a debootstrap failure and send them: /target/var/lib/apt/lists/debootstrap.invalid_dists_lenny_Release /target/var/lib/apt/lists/debootstrap.invalid_dists_lenny_Release.gpg The first one should be zipped again. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
