Hello Neil, could it be that my emdebian repositories are not set up correctly? Here is the content of sources.list: # deb http://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian/ lenny main

Note that in a chroot, you may have left the debconf priority too high to see the question.

I need all relevant information on the setup of this box - please report a bug against dpkg-cross and include the content of: /etc/dpkg-cross/cross-compile The output from these test commands: $ dpkg-architecture -aarm -qDEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE $ ls /etc/dpkg-cross/archtable.d/ -l $ perl -MDebian::DpkgCross -e 'print (check_arch("arm")."\n");' $ perl -MDebian::DpkgCross -e 'print (&get_architecture()."\n");' $ perl -MDebian::DpkgCross -e '&read_config; print (&get_architecture()."\n");' $ ARCH=arm perl -MDebian::DpkgCross -e 'print (&get_architecture()."\n");' -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ http://e-mail.is-not-s.ms/
