Package: multistrap Version: 2.2.1 Severity: normal Creating an arm64 foreign chroot with the attached config file (on an amd64 machine) results in a file /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch being created, containing: foreign-architecture armhf
This is fatal to the operation of the dpkg 1.17.26 also installed in that chroot, which just says 'unrecognised option'. And indeed --foreign-architecture is not a dpkg option This option was removed in 2011 (to be replaced by the --add-foreign-architecture and --remove-foreign-architectures interface) Once the file is removed dpkg works (and knows what its foreign architectures are) I think multistrap should just stop writing that file. It is probably still correct for creating some very old chroots, but definitely wrong for jessie or later. I'll test this. config: [General] arch=arm64 cleanup=true unpack=true noauth=true bootstrap=Jessie aptsources=Jessie multiarch=arm64 armhf [Jessie] packages=locales net-tools nfs-common apt nano iputils-ping openssh-server dialog netbase systemd kmod dhcpcd5 xorg xfce4-t erminal openbox weston libgl1-mesa-dri python vim libgcc1 libc6 source=http://debian-mirror.cambridge.arm.com/debian keyring=debian-archive-keyring suite=jessie
