Hi "dpkg --print-architecture" give me this warning: dpkg: warning, architecture `powerpc-none' not in remapping table powerpc-none
since it's a warning, i've been ignoring it for as long as i've seen it. however, today i wanted to play with pbuilder fakeroot pbuilder create --distribution sid -mirror http://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/debian/ --arch powerpc W: /home/rob/.pbuilderrc does not exist Distribution is sid. Building the build environment -> running debootstrap dpkg: warning, architecture `powerpc-none' not in remapping table I: Retrieving http://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/debian/dists/sid/Release I: Validating /home/rob/pbuilder/build/29553/./var/lib/apt/lists/debootstrap.invalid_dists_sid_Release E: Invalid Release file, no entry for main/binary-powerpc-none/Packages ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ (emphasis mine) pbuilder: debootstrap failed -> Aborting with an error -> cleaning the build env dpkg-architecture reports what seem to be sane values: DEB_BUILD_ARCH=powerpc DEB_BUILD_GNU_CPU=powerpc DEB_BUILD_GNU_SYSTEM=linux DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE=powerpc-linux DEB_HOST_ARCH=powerpc DEB_HOST_GNU_CPU=powerpc DEB_HOST_GNU_SYSTEM=linux DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE=powerpc-linux /usr/share/automake/config.guess tells me i'm powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu, though i see dpkg parses the output of "gcc --print-libgcc-file-name" (which is /usr/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-linux/3.2.2/libgcc.a) to find the key to use when it looks up stuff in archtable. at this point i gave up... is this a bug in dpkg, or i it operator error? thanks ==rob -- Rob Latham Woodridge, IL USA
