Hi Adrian, Thanks for the fast response on your weekend!
Unfortunately not. root@daffy:/usr/bin# gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 8D69674686 -bash: gpg: command not found I've run a find in /usr and also checked /usr/bin and /usr/sbin plus /usr/local/bin manually just in case the issue was my PATH. No luck there either.

Thanks so much Adrian! I seem to be chasing my tail a bit though as I am getting that wget is not installed so can't install the keyring to install stuff... root@daffy:/etc/apt# wget -bash: wget: command not found root@daffy:/etc/apt# apt-get install wget Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done Package wget is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'wget' has no installation candidate Regards Brian -----Original Message----- From: John Paul Adrian Glaubitz <glaub...@physik.fu-berlin.de> Sent: Saturday, March 25, 2023 9:05 AM To: Brian2 <br...@siberianboxes.com> Cc: debian-sparc@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: V210 booted from iso and installed but could not find mirror?
