The required hands-on to make use of the current installer ISOs includes the use of wget and dpkg at the point where the installation first breaks, though probably only via a C-A-F2 escape to a root shell while the installation (at C-A-F1) is blocked and waiting on the error report dialog. At that point you use wget to grab the devuan-keyring package http://deb.devuan.org/merged/pool/DEVUAN/main/d/devuan-keyring/devuan-keyring_2022.09.04_all.deb and store that at /target, so you can follow up with manual installation into /target, by: # chroot /target /usr/bin/dpkg -i devuan-keyring_2022.09.04_all.deb Following that, you re-enter the installation at C-A-F1 and select "continue" so that it re-tries with the failing step using the the updated keyring. On the side of all that I should add that I also taken have the opportunity to polish the installer-iso project so that it easily builds ISOs for the old releases.
