(Use debconf-show dpkg-cross) If default-arch is None, you must specify --arch ARCH to all emdebian-tools commmands and to apt-cross, e.g. emsetup -v -s -a arm (That is described in the QuickStart Wiki page above.) > cannot open No such file or directory at /usr/bin/apt-cross line 379. OK, that error message probably needs to be clarified in apt-cross but it is actually trying to open /etc/apt/sources.list I do not know why this file cannot be opened on your system, please can you send the results of: $ ls -l /etc/apt/sources.list perl is reporting "no such file" rather than "permission denied" so I'm confused why this file would not exist. Please also include the results of: $ apt-cache policy Finally, please also include the results of: $ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/emdebian.sources.list > Dry run only. > Updating apt cache data ... > cannot open No such file or directory at /usr/bin/apt-cross line 379. Same problem. > However, /usr/bin/apt-cross definitely exists. ? emsetup has already found apt-cross, that isn't the problem. The message means that a file that /usr/bin/apt-cross (line 379) tried to *open* was not found. The file that apt-cross tries to open at that point is /etc/apt/sources.list I will clarify the message but I need more information from you about why /etc/apt/sources.list is not being found, where your apt sources are specified and why this may have happened. > -- System Information: > Debian Release: lenny/sid > APT prefers unstable > APT policy: (500, 'unstable') > Architecture: i386 (i686) > > Versions of packages emdebian-tools depends on: > ii apt 0.6.46.4-0.1 Advanced front-end for dpkg > ii apt-cross 0.1.1 retrieve, build and install > librar > ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.13 Debian configuration management > sy > ii dpkg-cross 1.35 tools for cross compiling Debian > p -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
