Probably the same way that apt knows on the amd64.
I don't know how, but I can imagine several ways:
- perhaps apt can determine its own binaries version (amd64, i386,
etc)
- there's a command (it was on the list recently) to tell what
architecture is being run).
However it happens, it happens. When I want to run aptitude in the
chroot, I just run:
# schroot -pc etch-ia32 /usr/bin/aptitude
and I get aptitude in the chroot with everything mounted that nees
mounted and I get the right debs. Go figure. This is debian: on a box
with enough oomph, it just works.
