This is fine in principle, except that ppc64 is not an official Debian port and its packages are not mirrored on the same servers. I just tried something similar, which is to add x32 (also unofficial) as an alternate architecture to my biarch x86 system. APT now complains: W: Failed to fetch http://http.debian.net/debian/dists/experimental/InRelease Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-x32/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file) W: Failed to fetch http://http.debian.net/debian/dists/sid/Release Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-x32/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file) W: Failed to fetch http://http.debian.net/debian/dists/testing/Release Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-x32/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file) W: Failed to fetch http://http.debian.net/debian/dists/wheezy/Release Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-x32/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file) E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. So I think Michael's version, leaving big-endian kernels as powerpc by default, is preferable for now.

Just like every other architecture, we continue to have the deb based distros call it one thing, and the RPM based distros call it another. At least we're consistent in our inconsistency. josh ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread
