The hook is executed before task update is called, so you will add the architecture not too early. But you're right, we can omit calling apt-get update, since it's already done in task updatebase. -- regards Thomas

And with repository.AMD64 I do not have to take care of problems if I try to install another architecture than amd64.

Re: Wheezy and Multi-Arch...
What about this hook? A hook called updatebase.AMD64 containing $ROOTCMD dpkg --add-architecture i386 $ROOTCMD apt-get update -- regards Thomas

Wheezy and Multi-Arch...
Hi all, when using amd64 it is also possible to use the new Multi-Arch architecture bei appending a :i386 to the packages to be installed. But first one has to execute a dpkg --add-architecture i386 and do an apt-get update Has anyone an idea where the best place in FAI is to do this? Would the class-directory the best place for something like this: = FOREIGN=`dpkg --print-foreign-architectures` if [ xi386 != x$FOREIGN ] then dpkg --add-architecture i386 apt-get update fi = Or are the better places / other recommendations? Best regards Dirk, just trying to get a 32-bit iceweasel running on amd64... -- +--+ | Dr. Dirk Geschke / Plankensteinweg 61/ 85435 Erding| | Telefon: 08122-559448 / Mobil: 0176-96906350 / Fax: 08122-9818106 | | d...@geschke-online.de / d...@lug-erding.de / kont...@lug-erding.de | +--+
