Re: Resurrecting Debian on SPARC
So...
Following the directions given (on two different machines just to make
sure) I get to the point where I try to use dpkg -i to install the
downloaded file and I end up with this error:
I have no name!@ravirin:/# dpkg -i libpcre3_8.35-7.1+sparc64_sparc64.deb
dpkg: error while loading shared libraries: libpcre.so.3: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory
Q1: did I miss a step? I am logged in as myself and not as root. Does it
matter?
Q2: should debootstrap --second-stage be run from within chroot or from
outside?
