dpkg seems to be a bit screwed at the moment, anyone know whats going
on, or when it will be fixed?

# dpkg --print-architecture
dpkg: warning, architecture `powerpc-linux' not in remapping table
powerpc-linux

# dpkg --print-installation-architecture
powerpc-linux-gnu

And during an apt-get upgrade:
dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/libmng_0.9.3-1.1_powerpc.deb (--unpack):
 package architecture (powerpc) does not match system
(powerpc-linux-gnu)

The workaround we've found is use --force-architecture when calling
dpkg. However this isn't a great one. :)

Anyone know if this problem is with dpkg (or gcclib (where dpkg gets its
arch target from)) or have we somehow stuffed up our local configs
(doubtful, but possible).

Nick
