Good to see that Devuan is hosting it's own git, by the way.

]]>The installer ISOs are built using https://git.devuan.org/devuan/installer-iso.git which has been streamlined into an almost push-button state by now. But, whenever an ISO is built, it relies on the state of the repository at that particular time and it's always possible for some update inconsistency to slip in. It is therefore I think the installer ISOs typically need a broader testing than a single person running through it once.
]]>BTW I'm all for testing software before releasing.
But right now the installer images don't work at all, and the fix seems quite straightforward to me.Great. Welcome on board!
I'm probably doing things wrong yes, and need to retire.
We can rely on you taking over this?Just in parenthesis: all the installers do still work fine as long as you avoid network mirror backing during installation. It of course means that you'll end up with a rather minimal system, but it's still one where you can use the manual patching (wget + dpkg) before using the network mirroring/access the first time.
Wow, hold your horses, Ralph, no offense meant ;-)
I have used Devuan without problems for a few years now, and see no reason for you to retire ;-)
Do I understand right, are you the only person supporting the installation part of Devuan ?
I don't know the Devuan community (yet) so please help me out here.
And I guess people who use network installers in expert mode should be able to manage for now.
When do you plan to have the updated install ISO's available ?
Regards.

Hi, thanks for your reply
I was able to install by installing the key package, like Morgennebel mentioned.
So what's the problem here ?
Replacing the key works just fine (and should be done), so what has to be tested ?
I don't see it.
BTW I'm all for testing software before releasing.
But right now the installer images don't work at all, and the fix seeems quite straightforward to me.

]]>Tried to install Beowulf networkinstall today.
Could not install, because ISO Image was not updated with the correct signature.
Checked the repos, chimaera installer-iso's are also not updated with the right signature.
Any idea who to contact for this ?
Best regards.
EDIT
Found another post with a possible temporay solution,

ISO images have to be fixed, though
]]>No, wget as listed above does not work, because there is no http://deb.devuan.org/devuan/pool/main/d/devuan-keyring/devuan-keyring_2022.09.04_all.deb, there only is a http://deb.devuan.org/devuan/pool/main/d/devuan-keyring/devuan-keyring-udeb_2022.09.04_all.udeb.
Did the upgrade twice on two of my Daedalus VMs using the wget method, worked out fine with the devuan-keyring_2022.09.04_all.deb package, no udeb required.

You must have hit a mirror that wasn't fully updated. If you pick one from the mirror list, you can go to the same directory and find the .deb package.
https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/mirror_list.txt
Solution: download udeb file, purge old devuan keyring, then dpkg -i devuan-keyring-udeb_2022.09.04_all.udeb works.

Alternatively: Anyone uncomfortable with those command line options should rather download the new keyring directly, eg
# sha256sum devuan-keyring_2022.09.04_all.deb 96c4a206e8dfdc21138ec619687ef9acf36e1524dd39190c040164f37cc3468d
# dpkg -i devuan-keyring_2022.09.04_all.deb
Alternatively: if you have your own method that works, then that is fine too.
