Some of the VirtualBox base boxes are currently not working

[cliffe]

I think some of these are recent problems, but I hadn't used VirtualBox for quite a few months.

• The wheezy server base has just started complaining of a package management certificate/authentication issue (we need to update the image with new certs, or maybe configure apt-get to not authenticate packages)
• The stretch kde desktop image seems to be corrupted?
• The stretch server image complained puppet wasn't installed

I've updated the Stretch server VM, to have puppet etc -- works, but needs some further testing. Working on re-creating the Stretch KDE base, and on the others.

Stretch bases are now sorted for VirtualBox.

Wheezy and Kali look to need repo certificate updates

Wheezy has been retired from the main debian mirrors.

/etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://archive.debian.org/debian wheezy main
deb http://archive.debian.org/debian-archive/debian-security wheezy/updates main

/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99allow_unauth:

APT { Get { AllowUnauthenticated "1"; }; };
Acquire::Check-Valid-Until "false";

For reference:

curl --remote-name --location https://apt.puppetlabs.com/DEB-GPG-KEY-puppet
gpg --keyid-format 0xLONG --with-fingerprint ./DEB-GPG-KEY-puppet
apt-key add DEB-GPG-KEY-puppet

After adding two lines in /etc/apt/sources.list, I run sudo apt-get update in ubuntu 18.04. And I found this error:
W: GPG error: http://archive.debian.org/debian-archive/debian-security wheezy/updates InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY

I solved with these commands:
$ sudo apt-get install dirmngr
$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 8B48AD6246925553
$ sudo apt-get update
