Problem with 32-bit chroot

I have a 32-bit chroot set up exactly like our wiki: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … _in_Arch64  I've been having some issues with it lately, so I thought I would reinstall the base-devel group, but I'm still running into trouble.

Running this command

pacman --root /opt/arch32 --cachedir /opt/arch32/var/cache/pacman/pkg --config /opt/arch32/pacman.conf -S base base-devel --debug

Gives me this

I have never seen this before.  And interesting point I must include is when I run uname -m under the chroot, I get x86_64 instead of i686.

Re: Problem with 32-bit chroot

use linux32 sudo pacman blah

the new architecture option is using uname -m to detect what architecture do you run and linux32 overrides it. same thing you do when you entering in chroot. linux32 sudo chroot /path

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: Problem with 32-bit chroot

Works great!  Why is this happening though?  I've never had to specify linux32 when entering a chroot before.

Re: Problem with 32-bit chroot

New version of pacman, slightly different way of doing things. Mark solved please

Re: Problem with 32-bit chroot

It works also changing the Architecture parameter in /opt/arch32/pacman.conf :

Architecture = i686

instead of auto.
