OK. here is an updated patch following above discussion which tests OK with current multistrap.
It now uses a config file /etc/xapt/xapt.conf to set mirror and default components - this is the only thing that should change between Debian/Ubuntu. Avoids whole lsb-release issue and the switch that neither upstream nor Steve liked. The apt trusted keyring config options are needed to make xapt install anything, otherwise it just insists nothing can be authenticated. This is exactly the same issue as with multistrap (because xapt is downloading cross-packages into /var/lib/xapt, not the main chroot). So now we have working authentication with new-apt - woo. Also included is an upstream fix to the translation file stuff so that translations should actually work - they were bust in previous release. ** Patch added: "emdebian-crush-2.2.4ubuntu3.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/emdebian-crush/+bug/645147/+attachment/1662939/+files/emdebian-crush-2.2.4ubuntu3.patch -- pdebuild-cross fails to build things https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/645147 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
