Cannot check Release signature & Failed getting release file errors

[pypy702]

I ran the debian_on_termux_10.sh script but this is what I get.

3 things;

41 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them.

so I added upgrade to the script.

E: Failed getting release file http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/Release

can you view that file from your phone?
Debian does not appear to be offering https at this time which is a reliability and security issue :/ https://www.debian.org/mirror/list

what I get

I added to the script so please
rm debian-testing
, re-download, and re-run it.

[pypy702]

Ok, i re-downloaded it, deleted the directory, and ran the script.
I can view the Release file.
I get this error log.

can you view that file from your phone?

Or what is the output of

curl -v  http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/Release | grep -c .

?

Looks like you missed the line count (grep) but anyway. "200 OK" and "111k" looks correct... I don't know why debootstrap "Failed getting release" .

[sp4rkie]

to avoid the "Release signature error message" you normally install the proper keys (as being done in the old debian_on_termux.sh script:

    #
    # fix https://github.com/sp4rkie/debian-on-termux/issues/21
    # fix https://github.com/sp4rkie/debian-on-termux/issues/63
    #
    # add the key for stable (Debian Stable Release Key)
    apt-key adv --recv-keys DCC9EFBF77E11517
    # add the keys for testing, unstable (Debian Archive Automatic Signing Key)
    apt-key adv --recv-keys 648ACFD622F3D138

when calling 'apt-key adv ...' manually for some unknown reason I now get

# apt-key adv --recv-keys 648ACFD622F3D138
Executing: /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/tmp/apt-key-gpghome.LSWlHdtwSk/gpg.1.sh --recv-keys 648ACFD622F3D138
gpg: keyserver receive failed: General error

something is bad with the base installation at this time

[Dmole]

I tested the script 3 days ago and it worked for me (key warnings could be fixed but it's not critical) maybe pypy702 can try the stable branch or one of the other mirrors.
