Hi, I am not sure if this is the best mailing list, but couldn't find anything fitting better.
I am using Debian testing on amd64. I am interested in testing qemu-user-aarch64 on my amd64 machine, so instead of setting up chroots, I decided to just try to use multi-arch and install some libraries and linkers, and then see from there. Unfortunately, it didn't work well for arm64. $ dpkg --add-architecture arm64 $ apt update $ apt install libc6:arm64 libgcc-s1:arm64 gcc-10-base:arm64 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming.

Any help? Is this some transient issue with the repository? Cheers, Witold
