Comment 13 for bug 1555904

Just attempted with bionic 20101020ubuntu525 netboot installer. However, this build fails to install on my machine:

  │ │ Debootstrap warning │ │
  │ │ Warning: Failure trying to run: chroot /target dpkg-deb -f │ │
  │ │ /var/cache/apt/archives/dpkg_1.19.0.4ubuntu1_ppc64el.deb Version │ │

syslog tells me:

  Dec 11 08:58:46 debootstrap: chroot: can't execute 'dpkg-deb': No such file or directory

I can't run anything under /target:

  ~ # chroot /target /bin/bash
  chroot: can't execute '/bin/bash': No such file or directory
  ~ # ls -l /target/bin/bash
  -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1544376 May 17 2017 /target/bin/bash

Looks like that build has an invalid dynamic linker path, or the installer hasn't provided the requested linker yet:

  bash: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, 64-bit PowerPC or cisco 7500, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, BuildID[sha1]=8b1909e1534e08ac77ea8f8f1c8a120c6d02d631, stripped

  ~ # ls -al /target/lib64/
  drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 11 20:21 .
  drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 May 23 2017 ..

(I do see a suitable linker under /target/lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/ though)
