powerpc dpkg arch problem

2000-11-07 Thread Nick Clifford
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).

Yup, fixes things, but have to install with dpkg --force-architecture
