The instructions for the workaround were a little off for a Wheezy install and unfortunately still did not work.
I did: cd /usr/lib/debootstrp/scripts chmod +x sid ln s sid wheezy That got past the script error, however the package keys do not seem to be consistent with the debootstrap package on the disk. I got a ‘Release file signed by unknown key’ error. I went looking in the installation and found that the keys listed in the Packages file were wrong. So I corrected them and tried to create a new ISO and have not been able to get the format quite right. I also looked for the file in the installation figuring I might be able to update the keys there if they were in clear text, but could not find them. I am working on a first generation Mac Pro (2006) and it has a bunch of problems getting an initial install. Those do not relate to this bug. Target machine: Mac Pro (1.1) 2006 Install package: debian-7.3.0-amd64-netinst.iso
