You could change your sbuild config to tell it not to install crossbuild-essential-armhf when crossing, but instead to install libc:armhf, dpkg-cross, g++-arm-linux-gnueabihf (which is is all that the crossbuild-essential-armhf meta-package does) See man sbuild.conf CROSSBUILD_CORE_DEPENDS option Wookey -- Principal hats: Linaro, Debian, Wookware, ARM http://wookware.org/
