Package: qemu-user-binfmt
Version: 1:9.1.0~rc0+ds-3
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
I installed qemu-user, qemu-user-binfmt, gcc-14-alpha-linux-gnu,
gcc-14-hppa-linux-gnu, gcc-14-loongarch64-linux-gnu, gcc-14-riscv64-linux-gnu,
gcc-14-sh4-linux-gnu, gcc-14-sparc64-linux-gnu, so that I can cross-compile
programs for these architectures
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I compiled a 'hello world' program with 'alpha-linux-gnu-gcc-14 hello.c' and ran
it with './a.out'
* What was the outcome of this action?
The program doesn't run. It exits with this error message:
./a.out: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
* What outcome did you expect instead?
The program should be run by qemu-alpha.

The reason why it doesn't work is that the package qemu-user-binfmt on Debian
SID lacks the files /usr/share/binfmts/qemu-* - so the binfmt emulation is not
installed. When I copy the files /usr/share/binfmts/qemu-* from Debian 12 to
Debian SID, running programs for different architectures work.
