Hi,
I received this message when installing from the Debian 8.8 netinstall
ISO (debian-8.8.0-amd64-netinst.iso)
Initial error was for ftp.uk.debian.org <ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org>. I
tried several others (including ftp.fr.debian.org
<ftp://ftp.fr.debian.org> and mirror.bytemark.co.uk) with similar errors.
Continued with the install, which appeared to go OK otherwise. Found
that two lines were commented out in sources.list, post install:
# jessie-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
# Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify:
#deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main
# Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify:
#deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main
Uncommented these, and received the following errors on running apt-get
update:

Thanks,

I had that happened. I then changed all the http://ftp.* to
http://httpredir.debian.org. I learned of this here:
https://wiki.debian.org/SourcesList#Example_sources.list
Then I apt-get update and it worked fine from there.
