Running postinst scripts for a foreign-arch package sounds problematic. If it aborted without executing, is that not a problem still? Apart from i386-on-amd64, I'd expect this to fail in most situations. Have issues not been seen in postinst before, with other combinations of native/foreign arch? > What happens here is that a kfreebsd-i386 binary is run on a linux > kernel.

If that binary has the FreeBSD ELF ABI type, I'm surprised Linux will attempt to execute it? In the reverse scenario, with linux binaries on kfreebsd, depending on the ELF ABI type it is executes natively, or it is handled by the Linux syscall emulation layer. > Possibly glibc should do something different? I'm surprised ld.so didn't fail in this situation. Regards, -- Steven Chamberlain ste...@pyro.eu.org
