Hi,
As seen on openQA [1], the installation with the daily netinst image fails
because the installer cannot properly verify the .deb files provided from the
netinst installer image.
The new code finds a SHA512 checksum in the Release file, but in the Packages
file (/dists/forky/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz) there is 'only' a SHA256
checksum.
As a work-around: When I modify line 741 from `SHA_SIZE=512` to `SHA_SIZE=256`
the installation is able to proceed as usual (but the stronger checksum will
not be used).
With kind regards,

Hi,
I'm closing the bug report, allowing debootstrap to migrate to forky.
The issue was resolved by a change in the netinst images (the only type of
images that Debian generated with a mixture of SHA256 and SHA512) [1].
With kind regards,
