Hi Jakub, thanks for your bug report!

The output above suggests, that you don't have it installed. The new mmdebstrap upstream version (to be released soon) fixes several things: - the weird error messages you saw above will not be anymore - there will be an explicit test of whether you have arch-test or not and if the latter is the case, then it will tell you about it - if you still insist that you want to go ahead ahead with the foreign architecture but without installing arch-test, then you can use the --skip=check/qemu option Thanks! cheers, josch
