+

16.49.1. NAME

+

cdist-type__dpkg_architecture - Handles foreign architectures on debian-like +systems managed by dpkg

+
+
+

16.49.2. DESCRIPTION

+

This type handles foreign architectures on systems managed by +dpkg(1). The object id is the name of the architecture accepted by +dpkg, which should be added or removed.

+

If the architecture is not setup on the system, it adds a new architecture as a +new foreign architecture in dpkg. Then, it updates the apt package index to +make packages from the new architecture available.

+

If the architecture should be removed, it will remove it if it is not the base +architecture on where the system was installed on. Before it, it will purge +every package based on the "to be removed" architecture via apt to be able to +remove the selected architecture.

+
+
+

16.49.3. REQUIRED PARAMETERS

16.49.6. ABORTS

+

Aborts in the following cases:

+

If dpkg(1) is not available. It will abort with a proper error +message.

+

If the architecture is the same as the base architecture the system is build +upon it (returned by dpkg --print-architecture) and it should be removed.

+

It will fail if it can not execute apt(8). It is assumed that it is +already installed.

+
+
+
