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.

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.
