You don't usually need an explicit deb [arch=foo,bar] line on Debian because all arches are in the same repository, and apt will automatically try using unqualified deb lines as sources for all architectures (You do need to point at a server that actually mirror s the arches you want - not all do). But you do usually need an explicit deb line on Ubuntu because armel and armhf are in a different repo from the x86 stuff. (I think - not actually checked with experiments on current code, but that's my understanding). So in general marcin's advice is good and the info on https://wiki.linaro.org/MichaelHope/Sandbox/MultiarchWorkarounds won't work if pointing at Ubuntu and haven't mentioned the ports line already somewhere in the config. Putting both archive and ports in unqualified will work, but every apt-get update will generate whinges about missing files as it looks for amd64 on ports.u.c and arm* on archive.u.c Sadly this can't be automagically configured because of bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/645127 Wookey _______________________________________________ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
