Hello, Yes, the following command running on a buster system complains about pmac-utils in the second stage:
debootstrap --foreign --arch=ppc64 --no-check-gpg '--include=locales openssh-server linux-image-powerpc64' sid /rootfs https://deb.debian.org/debian-ports chroot /rootfs /usr/bin/qemu-ppc64-static /bin/bash /debootstrap/debootstrap --second-stage [...] I: Configuring initramfs-tools... W: Failure while configuring base packages. This will be re-attempted up to five times. W: See //debootstrap/debootstrap.log for details (possibly the package powerpc-utils is at fault) which says: dpkg: error processing package powerpc-utils (--configure): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing: powerpc-utils dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of powerpc-utils: powerpc-utils depends on pmac-utils; however: Package pmac-utils is not installed. The packages page https://packages.debian.org/sid/powerpc-utils shows pmac-utils as dependence but not available also. Best regards Pierre
