I have a pure64 chroot (on a node of a dual-Opteron cluster :) which I'm
soon going to let users loose on (HPC bioinformatics and comp sci people).
First I have to set up NIS for passwd stuff inside the chroot, though.
It was easy as pie to install dchroot (thanks for the suggestion!) on the RH9
i386 system, though. I used apt-get source inside the chroot, and then
compiled it after exitting out of the chroot. I installed the base system
from John's tar file a couple months ago, and my sources.list now has:
deb http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/pure64 sid main
deb ftp://bytekeeper.as28747.net/amd64/jgoerzen/amd64 sid main
deb http://people.debian.org/~jgoerzen/amd64 sid main
#deb http://www.fastwave.net/pamurray/ sid main
# arch -all packages can come from our local i386 mirror?
deb http://apt.mathstat.dal.ca/debian dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/
Stuff generally works, like emacs and gcc. It lives in a machine room,
so I haven't bothered with any X stuff. Good work on getting a useful
system, guys (and gals?).
Besides that sort of installation report, there's a specific problem
aptitude-0.2.14.1-2 from
deb http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/pure64 sid main
is linked with the wrong soname for libsigc.
PURETEST root@node8:~# ldd /usr/bin/aptitude
libsigc-1.2.so => not found
... everything else ok ...
I have libsigc++-1.2-5c102 installed, which has
/usr/lib/libsigc-1.2.so.5.0.5. ldconfig sets up a libsigc-1.2.so.5 symlink,
but the .so is probably only in the -dev package. aptitude on i386 is
linked with ....so.5, BTW. Making the symlink makes aptitude work. (damn
it loads fast on an Opteron compared to a PIII 450 :)
On i386, aptitude depends on libsigc++-1.2-5c102. That dep is missing in
the amd64 package. I guess that makes sense if the deps are automatically
generated. (I'm not a DD, but I think lib deps can be done that way...)
