Hello,
I have a Debian Jessie up and running on one computer.
I want to install Jessie on another computer.
I downloaded debian-8.0.0-amd64-netinst.iso from some Debian
mirror and want to verify this, via the existing Jessie. This I cannot do.
Details:
I downloaded
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/8.0.0/amd64/iso-cd/SHA512SUMS
and the pertinent line verified ok with
grep debian-8.0.0-amd64-netinst.iso SHA512SUMS | sha512sum -c
So far, so good. I downloaded
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/8.0.0/amd64/iso-cd/SHA512SUMS.sign
and tried to verify SHA512SUM with that, but (of course)
$ LANG=C gpg2 --verify SHA512SUMS.sign
gpg: assuming signed data in 'SHA512SUMS'
gpg: Signature made Sun Apr 26 01:43:56 2015 CEST using RSA key ID 6294BE9B
gpg: Can't check signature: No public key
The information over at http://keyring.debian.org/ suggests that
I can retrieve the key there, but
$ LANG=C gpg2 --keyserver keyring.debian.org --recv-keys 6294BE9B
gpg: requesting key 6294BE9B from hkp server keyring.debian.org
gpgkeys: key 6294BE9B can't be retrieved
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
gpg: Total number processed: 0
Finally, the discussion over at
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=609451 seems to
suggest that SHA512SUMS.sign should have been changed some time
after "Mon, 27 Apr 2015 23:18:02 +0100", but the file is older:
$ curl -sI
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/8.0.0/amd64/iso-cd/SHA512SUMS.sign | grep -i
'last-modified'
Last-Modified: Sat, 25 Apr 2015 23:43:56 GMT
So I'm at a loss.
Where do I get the signature to verify?
Where do I get the key that signed that signature?
Regards, and thank you for providing fine software,
Andreas
