What do you need from dpkg?
SB2 needs to know what kind of path mappings dpkg needs to work
correctly. Currently it fails to install packages. I can't remember
the exact details at the moment. As Riku suggested, it might be best
to run apt and dpkg in target emulation mode entirely. That would be a
bit slower but it would be trivial to get to work and would be
guaranteed to do the right thing always.
This probably should be moved to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Also take into account that most probably Debian is
going to switch to multiarch for lenny, which would make it way easier
to cross-compile and similar stuff, and might make part of the sbox
functionallity unneeded (not all of course!).
SB2 is using the --sysroot switch already and I think gcc is pretty
much covered in that sense. Better multiarch support in debian
obviously doesn't hurt :)
