Re: Pure64 chroot available

Hi John,

I'm using your pure64 chroot and package collection and have followed
these instructions:

I currently have a working system which I am trying to flesh how.
The problem I see is that when I try:

  apt-get install xlibs

it pulls the xlibs-4.3.0-5 package from binary-i386 and not from your
archive (which has xlibs-4.2.1-16.1).  I aborted the install before it
could actually install anything.

Am I missing something?  Why allow binary-i386 packages on a pure64
bit platform?
