I had the same problem (with other packages). In line ~343 all non
important messages from a log should be removed. It seems that
Potato's dpkg produces output, which is unknown to cross-install. So
this variable ("errors"), wich contains the rest of the output, is not
empty - cross-install sees this as an ERROR. I worked around this
problem something like:
<snip>
errors=`grep -v 'trying to overwrite\|but is unpacked but not configured\|Preparing to
replace\|Unpacking\|pre-dependency problem\|Selecting previously deselected
package\|pre-depends on\|overriding problem because --force enabled\|(Reading database
...\| package architecture (hurd-i386) does not match system\|is not installed.\|but
has never been configured.\|dpkg-deb: building package' ${log}`
set -e
echo "ERRORS: $errors"
echo "Is this OK?"
echo -n "> "
read answer
if [ "$answer" != "yes" ] ; then
echo
echo 'ERROR: dpkg did return unusual messages, please investigate:'
echo 'INSTALLATION ABORTED!'
