Scott,

The Ubuntu-desktop evaluation builds for 12.04 are based upon Ubuntu Precise, which is officially armhf, so there is no armel support. If you need armel, I think you'll have to use something older, but it would be better to rebuild your binary if that's possible.

cheers, Jesse

Hi,

I’m trying to run an old armel image on 12.04 on Snowball.  It doesn’t run because there’s no armel support; starting with a missing /lib/ld-linux.so.3

How can I add armel support?  I tried this:

# dpkg --add-architecture armel

dpkg: error: unknown option --add-architecture

# apt-get update ; apt-get install dpkg

[...]

dpkg is already the newest version.

# dpkg-query --show dpkg

dpkg    1.16.1.2ubuntu7

Thanks for any pointers you can give me.

This is an unfortunate divergence between Debian and Ubuntu syntax.

On debian (dpkg 1.16.3 or later) it is: dpkg --add-architecture armel On Ubuntu (dpkg 1.16.1 to < 1.16.3) it is: echo "foreign-architecture armel" > /etc/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch

That should allow $package:armel as well as $package:armhf packages to be installed, but I don't know if that will actually solve your problem.

Wookey
