Applied to next, thanks. With kind regards, Baurzhan

apt-cache needs to be told for which main architecture it should check when listing packages via "dumpavail": it would otherwise default to its default architecture (HOST_DISTRO_ARCH when running outside of the target rootfs vs DISTRO_ARCH when running under chroot). Use "apt-cache -o APT::Architecture=${DISTRO_ARCH}" for a correct listing of packages known to apt; this approach is preferred over e.g. "sudo chroot ${rootfs} apt-cache dumpavail" as we avoid a sudo call and avoid running apt under qemu (slow) when the host and target architectures are different.
