    From Linux-RISC@21:1/5 to All on Sun Aug 14 09:20:02 2022
    I am trying to install Debian 5.0.10 on an AlphaServer DS10. It worked in
    the past but now during installation it returns "error installing busybox
    on target system. Check /var/log/syslog or virtual console number 4 for details".
    Virtual console number 4 displays: "WARNING: the following packages cannot
    be authenticated: busybox. There are problems and -y was used without --force-yes"

    And installation gets stuck there.

    This indicates that the repository key being used has expired, thus you’re using an older image.

    Which one did you use? Please provide the full URL.

    I have also used the unstable version https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/current/debian-11.0.0-alpha-NETINST-1.iso but it gets frozen on installation.

    Where does it freeze?

    Please post some more details and log files.

    Ah, sorry, just saw that you are using a Lenny image?

    Any chance you could use a recent unstable image?

    Questions:
    Has anyone managed to install Debian 11.0.0 on a DS10?
    What is the purpose of downloading version 5.0.10 if it cannot be
    installed? There is no way to install this version ?

    Thanks in advance.
