I'm trying to bootstrap apt-get on a Solaris box following:

        http://lists.debian.org/deity/1999/deity-199912/msg00081.html

Once I ditch the solaris toolchain and replace /bin/sh by /bin/bash ("test
-e" does not seem to work on solaris!) everything builds fine. Now if I
run apt-get I get:

        E: Unable to determine a suitable system type

I have searched the web and someone[1] meant one has to use:

        apt-get -o apt::system="Debian dpkg interface"

Now that doesn't work either and if I change pkgsystem.cc to do this:

        pkgSystem *pkgSystem::GetSystem(const char *Label)
        {
           for (unsigned I = 0; I != GlobalListLen; I++) {
              cerr << "System: " << SysList[I]->Label << "\n";
           }
           cerr << "That's all folks\n";

           for (unsigned I = 0; I != GlobalListLen; I++) {
              if (strcmp(SysList[I]->Label,Label) == 0)
             return SysList[I];
           }
           return 0;
        }

I get an empty list ("That's all folks").

Erm. I think I'm missing something here. Does anyone have a hint for me?
