Grab 5.8 RC ISO from here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/sparkylinux/files/testing/
Or wait few more days for next Sparky release.

If you decide to go with 5.8 RC read this:

Got the 5.8 RC as advised - still no luck.

Will wait for the next release.

Unfortunately the 5.7.1 & 5.8 RC uses old Debian repos, which are not in use any more.

You can use Sparky Advanced installer which does not upgrade the package list, even uses old Debian's repo (if you do not try to install other desktop via Minimal ISO). So, if you install the system as it is, via the Advanced installer, the error you got, will not break your installation.

Anyway, new 5.8 iso images are on the way, should be ready next week.
