Hi,

I received this message when installing from the Debian 8.8 netinstall ISO (debian-8.8.0-amd64-netinst.iso)

Initial error was for ftp.uk.debian.org<ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org>. I tried several others (including ftp.fr.debian.org<ftp://ftp.fr.debian.org> and  mirror.bytemark.co.uk) with similar errors.

Continued with the install, which appeared to go OK otherwise. Found that two lines were commented out in sources.list, post install:

# jessie-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
# Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify:
#deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main
# Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify:
#deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main

Uncommented these, and received the following errors on running apt-get update:

Hit http://ftp.uk.debian.org jessie/main Translation-en
Err http://ftp.uk.debian.org jessie-updates/main Translation-en

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.


  *   Is this a known issue?
  *   Should I have any concerns about stability / missing files follow this?

Thanks,
Rob
