32 bit chroot and ld-linux.so.2

2006-08-24 Thread edwardsa
I'm installing a 32 bit chroot, following 

http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/356

First, there is a tiny typo under 1.2

-arch should be --arch

Second, it says that I have to put a soft link in /lib to the ld-linux.so.2 in
the chroot. My question is, given that I already have a ld-linux.so.2 in /lib, 
why do I need the link?

[Fwd: xemacs-21.4.19-gnome-canna-wnn crashes]

2006-09-06 Thread edwardsa
Just to let you know that the 32-bit version of 
xemacs-21.4.19-gnome-canna-wnn doesn't crash in a 32-bit etch chroot.


Things like this make amd64 seem to be in need of a lot of work.

As the Subject says, xemacs-21.4.19-gnome-canna-wnn crashes with 
segfault. However,
xemacs21-mule-canna-wnn doesn't crash. I'm running the etch amd64 
distribution. Interestingly, the window that comes up tells me to submit 
a bug report to gnome, but there is no xemacs application to submit on. 
I haven't tried yet (I will), but I would bet that 
xemacs-21.4.19-gnome-canna-wnn won't crash in my chroot.

wierd dpk package message Solved.

FYI.

I was able to fix this problem.

The statoverride file resides in /var/lib/dpkg

For some reason, it had the following entry:

hplip root 755 /var/run/hplip

The file statoverride-old was empty

I performed radical surgery and made statoverride-old into statoverride.

So, the maintainer of hplip might want to look at this.

I'm pasting my original post for debian-devel

-

I'm using a 32-bit chroot on an amd64 etch box. I have installed cups
and associated packages, especially the hplip. Now, when I'm installing
perl, I get the error:

dpkg: syntax error: unknown user `hplip' in statoverride file

What the ??
