hi list,

i had some troubles installing debian via debootstrap into an arch linux host system. although i have an athlon 64 i'm still running arch in ia32 mode. the vanilla vserver build -m debootstrap... command refused to do anything after downloading debootstrap because it was unable to identify my system architecture. i fixed line 96 of vserver-build.debootstrap to read

arch=$(arch 2>/dev/null) || arch=

since the uname command preceding that yielded something like "AuthenticAMD" for my specific setup--which is of course not a valid architecture to pass to debootstrap --arch. i think using uname -m would be a valid choice, too.
after that, the vserver build process continued as expected.

achim.
