Hi All,
I'm trying to install Debian Buster on an armel platform, specifically the QNAP TS-212. The last officially supported debian is buster. I seem to be getting hung up near the end of the installation process on the step where the install configures ca-certificates-java. I started the install while tailing the syslog, and it throws the error "cannot open '/etc/ssl/certs/java/cacerts' for reading': No such file or directory".
btw, I'm doing a headless installation, whereby I'm logging in through SSH to complete the installat process, so some methods may be affected by this. I can and do get a shell during installation to monitor the installation process, if this is helpful.
Thanks in advance,
Ivan Blackford

Re: Installation of Buster freezes at installation of Java
Hello,
I tried installing the package named ca-certificates-java in a VM running Debian Buster (arch=amd64), and it installed without issues:
Therefore, I suspect there's something else is going on with your Debian installation; some wild guesses:

This bug report is relevant to your problem, but for Debian Bullseye (Debian 11) alias Debian Oldstable: This has been reported as fixed with the 20230710 version of the ca-certificates-java package, which is not available for Debian Buster (old-old-stable):iblackford wrote: ↑2024-04-02 12:36 I'm trying to install Debian Buster on an armel platform, specifically the QNAP TS-212.

- are you installing packages that are not from Debian repositories ?
- are you sure your installed Debian version is Buster ?
- something else ?

Re: Installation of Buster freezes at installation of Java
Thanks for the in-depth look into this!
I'm following the standard install, not specifically asking for software that is not from the debian repositories. One of the few choices I have for installed packages is the window manager....I chose XFCE. And yes, it's buster that i'm trying to install. As an example, here's where I'm getting the kernel from:
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/bust ... ernel-6281
Is there a way to pause the installation and manually install ca-certificates-java? if so, whereabouts in the install process should I pause it, and how?
Thanks, Ivan

Re: Installation of Buster freezes at installation of Java
The Debian Installer should allow you to install a base system without java. This way you may install the base system and take care of Java afterwards (if it is required).

Re: Installation of Buster freezes at installation of Java
Thanks Aki,
You were correct, I was able to get a base installation working if I didn't install any desktop manager.
My next question is, how would I go about now upgrading to Bullseye? Due to some limitations in the flash on this device, there is no pre-compiled debian version for it above buster...but I have resized the partition layout to support the larger kernel in new versions...I'm just not sure where to go from here.
