Package: debootstrap
Version: 1.0.114
Severity: normal

I tried installing an armel chroot on an arm64 machine:

  $ sudo debootstrap --variant=minbase --arch=armel --no-merged-usr --verbose 
sid /srv/chroots/armeltest http://deb.debian.org/debian/
  E: Unable to execute target architecture

This appears to be due to:

  #922728: arch-test: reports armel invalid on arm64 system
  https://bugs.debian.org/922728

If I remove arch-test, debootstrap works fine, installs the chroot, and
I'm able to chroot into the armel environment just fine.

Other than uninstalling arch-test, there appears to be no way to tell
debootstrap to ignore, or at least downgrade arch-test results to a
warning. I'm not sure if a commandlinne option and/or environment
variable would be the preferred workaround.

Obviously, the best thing to do is fix arch-test in this particular
case, but if it's not possible, or it takes a long time, or some future
bug in arch-test comes around, it'd be nice to be able to override it
without uninstalling arch-test.

live well,
