I've just successfully created a chroot for i686 suse10.0. Looking at /usr/share/doc/rpmstrap/TODO, I think the problem you are seeing is just this:
* The x86_64 (and other archs) are buggy or not yet supported. Right now, only i[3456]86 is. These archs should be added. -- rpmstrap using /bin/sh when it should use /bin/bash https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/64032 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
