Package: apt
Version: 0.8.15.9
Severity: normal
Hi,
I'm trying to use apt-get in a multiarch setup. I discovered that
"apt-get update" only download one foreign architecture. I suppose (see my
experience below) that the problem lies in the parsing of
"dpkg --print-foreign-architectures".
vdanjean@eyak:~$ /usr/bin/dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
armel
i386
mipsel
vdanjean@eyak:~$ cat /var/lib/dpkg/arch
amd64
armel
i386
mipsel
vdanjean@eyak:~$
If run "apt-get update" in this situation, only the (native) amd64 architecture
and the armel architecture are downloaded.
If I edit /var/lib/dpkg/arch to switch the armel and i386 architectures,
then "apt-get update" download amd64 and i386 architectures.
ie, "apt-get update" download the native architecture and the first foreign
architecture.
Now, if I change the output of "dpkg --print-foreign-architectures" to
output only one line:
vdanjean@eyak:~$ /usr/local/bin/dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
i386 armel mipsel
vdanjean@eyak:~$ cat /usr/local/bin/dpkg
#!/bin/sh
if [ "$1" = --print-foreign-architectures ]; then
/usr/bin/dpkg "$@" | tr "\n" " " | sed -e 's/ $/\n/'
else
exec /usr/bin/dpkg "$@"
fi
vdanjean@eyak:~$
Then, if I run "apt-get -o Dir::Bin::dpkg=/usr/local/bin/dpkg update", then
all four (amd64, i386, armel, and mipsel) architectures are downloaded.
Regards,
Vincent
