I don't know. Sparc architecture has been dropped in jessie, maybe even in wheezy, I don't remember already, and dropped in a way that it didn't land in ports.debian.org. Sparc64 hasn't been a release architecture for a few releases too, but it is still present and kind of supported in ports.d.o. You can file a bug against www.debian.org pseudo-package to sort this out, but this obviously have nothing to do with debootstrap or qemu. > Why is there an interpreter for it when `update-binfmts --display`? There are many interpreters registered by qemu. In there, there are multiple architectures which has never been supported by debian at all. This does not mean there's no need or way to run binaries for these platrorms. > Its kind of a waste of time then (q.v.). Sorry about the extra noise. Well, everything is a waste of time in the end.. or not. :) Thanks, /mjt
