I'm using apt-get to fetch packages along with their dependencies into
a local archive in order to create a filesystem for an embedded
system. It works well when the target architecture the is same as the
host architecture. However,
apt-get -o DIR=to/archive -o Dir::State::status=status \
-o APT::Architecture=arm -d -u --force-yes --reinstall -y install \
ash base-files base-passwd busybox [...]
returns an error 25600. I'd expect that the Architecture switch would
allow me to download the packages. Is there some other purpose for
the switch. Should this not work?
