It is a working package mirror. It's just that the GPG signatures are no longer valid and you need to tell debian-installer to ignore them: root@raverin:/srv# debootstrap --no-check-gpg --arch=sparc wheezy wheezy-sparc-sbuild https://archive.debian.org/debian I: Target architecture can be executed I: Retrieving InRelease I: Retrieving Release I: Retrieving Packages I: Retrieving Packages I: Validating Packages (...) I: Configuring aptitude... I: Configuring libcurl3-gnutls:sparc... I: Configuring apt-transport-https... I: Configuring tasksel... I: Configuring tasksel-data... I: Configuring ca-certificates... I: Base system installed successfully. root@raverin:/srv# chroot wheezy-sparc-sbuild/ root@raverin:/# I think there might be a boot command line option for debian-installer to achieve that or you can try setting the clock back to a date before the Wheezy key expiration date.
