OK, the problem appears to be, that apt-get is linked against /lib/ld-linux.so.2:
fzidpc73:~# ldd /chroot/sarge/usr/bin/apt-get libapt-pkg-libc6.2-3-2.so.3.2 => /usr/lib/libapt-pkg-libc6.2-3-2.so.3.2 (0x4001f000) libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 => /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 (0x400f8000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x40141000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40162000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000) This seems to be the reason for the errors given in this bug log. Well, what to do? I've tried this: # chroot /chroot/sarge /usr/bin/apt-get update which works fine. Should we replace the weird apt-get call in postinst with a chroot'ed call to apt-get? -- CYa, Mario | Debian Developer <URL:http://debian.org/> | Get my public key via finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] | 1024D/7FC1A0854909BCCDBE6C102DDFFC022A6B113E44 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
