Wheezy install, E: unrecognized or invalid option --no-check-gpg

Hello,

REMARK:STOP READING, found the problem, had to delete /tmp/debootstrap!


i tried now several times to install wheezy. But it does not work.
I used:

mount -o remount,rw /
mv /usr/sbin/debootstrap /usr/sbin/debootstrap.OLD
mv /usr/share/debootstrap /usr/share/debootstrap.OLD

and i tried both:

Quote

DEBOOTSTRAP_VERSION=$(wget -q "$DEB_MIRROR/pool/main/d/debootstrap/?C=M;O=D" -O- | grep -o 'debootstrap[^"]*all.deb' | head -n1)

To:
DEBOOTSTRAP_VERSION=$(wget -q "$DEB_MIRROR/pool/main/d/debootstrap/?C=M;O=D" -O- | grep -o 'debootstrap[^"]*all.deb' | tail -n1)

However, I do not get beyond the error message:

E: unrecognized or invalid option --no-check-gpg

Can anybody please help? I would like to continue using my dockstar! (my old usb stick died)
Regards, Dieter

I am having the exact same problem with a new install on a recently reclaimed Dockstar and a new USB stick (1 Gig).
I do not have anything in /tmp/debootstrap and my USB is formatted roughly 512M bootable Linux (83) and 512M Linux Swap (82).
The current uboot is installed.

Any help would be appreciated.

Here's a dump of my console:

This script will replace the bootloader on /dev/mtd0.

If you lose power while the bootloader is being flashed,
your device could be left in an unusable state.


This script will configure your Dockstar to boot Debian
from a USB device.  Before running this script, you should have
used fdisk to create the following partitions:

/dev/sda1 (Linux ext2, at least 400MB)
/dev/sda2 (Linux swap, recommended 256MB)


This script will DESTROY ALL EXISTING DATA on /dev/sda1
Please double check that the device on /dev/sda1 is the correct device.

By typing ok, you agree to assume all liabilities and risks
associated with running this installer.

If everything looks good, type 'ok' to continue: ok

You can use my latest released 3.16 rootfs (link in my signature). Or if you rather build your own mainline Debian, run the squeeze script mentioned in Jeff's instruction, and then upgrade to wheezy.

Hello Ack210,

have you tried to exchange head and tail as I wrote above?
Before, do the above mentioned moves. (mv)

Regards, Dieter

Thanks for the advice. As you probably have guessed, I'm a relative noob to this.

I did not do the moves on my initial install, since I had never attempted a Debian install before on this device and therefore, they should't exist. (I checked, they didn't)

I have done that since but still received the same error.

After I changed head to tail, I got past the --no-check-gpg error, but wheezy still failed on install.

The last few lines of /tmp/debian/debootstrap/debootstrap.logd were as follows:

I tried all this on a second USB flash drive and while the wheezy script reported success (go figure), on reboot I was right back at the original software. :-(


I am now trying again using squeeze.

No luck.

Squeeze installs, but on reboot I'm right back to the pogoplug software.

I'm at a loss.

Hello,

it seems, that you are exactly following my steps. As next, I activated netcat to see what is happening, then continue here:

http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,20732,20743#msg-20743

Regards, Dieter

Thank you for that last link, Dieter. In it I found the source of my problem.

I didn't use netcat or netconsole, as I've been interacting with the Dockstar boot via the internal serial port.

As in your link above, uImage and uInitrd were not being loaded on the USB drive for some odd reason.

Bodhi:
Many thanks as well.

I used your rootfs image and it booted right up.
I didn't understand a couple of things but apparently it didn't matter

For example:
I had no idea waht to do with this:

set_bootargs_usb=setenv bootargs console=$console root=$usb_root rootdelay=$rootdelay rootfstype=$rootfstype $mtdparts
rootfstype=ext2

Also, when I went in to edit /media/sdb1/etc/fstab (actually on my computer it was /media/rootfs/etc/fstab), I found no reference to

/dev/root      /               ext2    noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1

But it booted right up with no major errors.

I'm now waiting for my Dockstar (I think I'll rename it DEBstar) to finish updating and then I can start adding things to it like samba, minidlna and maybe work on attaching a wireless dongle and a USB sound card.

Anyone have other suggestions what to do with this neat toy?

Again, many thanks.

Ack210,

We really don't need the fstab part at all. The kernel bootarg root= already take care of where the root device is located. However, fstab would be important in case the kernel bootarg is missing. So I included both for completeness.
