On some systems debootstrap runs fine like such: debootstrap --verbose woody /root/woody-chroot http:/blahbla On others it will only run fine like such: debootstrap --verbose --arch i386 woody /root/woody-chroot http:/blahbla On both systems I have dpkg installed, any idea why it acts differently? On some systems I have to define the arch, any idea why? -- --Luke CS Sysadmin, Montana State University-Bozeman
