[SOLVED] 32 bit chroot keeps trying to install x86_64 packages

EDIT: Solved, see post #5.

Hello,

I've followed the "alternative lightweight install" instructions from the Wiki page (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … _in_Arch64) in an attempt to set up a 32-bit chroot on my x64 system.

The problem I'm running into is when running this command: "pacman -S ttf-bitstream-vera" after chroot'ing into /opt/arch32. I've confirmed that my arch is i686 in both the pacman.d/mirrors file, as well as pacman.conf. I've run a "pacman -Syy" after making these changes, but no matter what, pacman STILL really wants to download the 64-bit packages.

This is the output I get:

[user@box~]$ uname -m
i686
[user@box ~]$ sudo pacman -S ttf-bitstream-vera

because you missed the most important part.

linux32 sudo chroot bla

or you have a stupid mirrorlist, which contains x86_64 links

Thanks for the quick response, wonder.

I checked my mirrorlist, it doesn't contain any x86_64 links. I'll give the "linux32" a shot when I get home--I just didn't see it listed under the wiki article (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arc … bit_system).

The weird thing is that "uname -m" already shows i686 when I'm in the chrooted environment.

The prefix of "linux32" did not make pacman search for the correct packages. It still wants to download the x86_64 packages...

try to resync the database inside chroot, pacman -Syy

Thanks, that did the trick!
