dpkg is the debian package manager. On target, it is useful to install
.deb files containing certain software. On host, it is useful to create
such .deb files. The creation of such .deb files could happen from a
post-build script, or from project-specific packages.

Thanks. Unfortunately, it doesn't build with a minimal uClibc ARM
toolchain, apparently because dpkg doesn't recognize the
linux-uclibcgnueabi tuple fragment as a valid operating system. I get:

checking for posix_fadvise... yes
checking dpkg cpu type... arm
configure: WARNING: arm not found in cputable
checking dpkg operating system type... linux-uclibcgnueabi
configure: WARNING: linux-uclibcgnueabi not found in ostable
checking dpkg architecture name... configure: error: cannot determine host dpkg architecture
make: *** [/home/thomas/projets/buildroot/output/build/dpkg-1.16.10/.stamp_configured] Erreur 1

Could you have a look?

Thanks!

Thomas

Sure, I'll look into it and submit a new patch when it works...
