[Bug 1319153] Re: Fails to create x86 chroot

[Colin Watson]

By the way, for the case of an amd64 chroot on an i386 host system,
we'll deal with this by just creating a native amd64 chroot; this is our
only option because there's no i386-to-amd64 cross-compiler as such in
the archive (and "gcc -m64" is a somewhat different kettle of fish that
requires explicit build system support).  This is perfectly workable,
but only if you've taken special measures to install a 64-bit kernel on
the i386 system so that it can execute 64-bit binaries.

I suspect that this is a fairly niche case; i386 chroot on amd64 host
will likely be rather more common.

  Fails to create x86 chroot

Status in “click” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  The `sudo click chroot -a i386 -f ubuntu-sdk-14.04 create` command
  fails with this error:

  E: Unable to locate package g++-i686-linux-gnu
  E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'g++-i686-linux-gnu'
  E: Unable to locate package pkg-config-i686-linux-gnu
  Command returned 100: schroot -u root -c source:click-ubuntu-sdk-14.04-i386 -- /finish.sh

  The same with amd64 on my i386 machine fails as expected in a bit more
  spectacular way: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7459031/
