Hi

I am not sure if this is the right list to post this to but I am sorry if it is a mistake.


I am trying to install cross tool chain targeting a mips architecture hosted on a i486 architecture but have installation error when using apk-get.
I get a installation errors when trying to install libmpfr4.


Host/Build system:
Ubuntu latest

# cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "model name"
model name      : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU         T7400  @ 2.16GHz


# uname -a
Linux sleipner 2.6.32-30-generic #59-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 1 21:30:21 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux

# gcc -dumpmachine
i486-linux-gnu

I have addded "deb http://www.emdebian.org/debian squeeze main" to /etc/apt/sources.list

# more /etc/apt/sources.list | grep debian
deb http://www.emdebian.org/debian squeeze main

I have done the following 

# apt-get update
# apt-get install emdebian-archive-keyring

But when I do the following 

# sudo apt-get install linux-libc-dev-mips-cross libc6-mips-cross libc6-dev-mips-cross binutils-mips-linux-gnu gcc-4.4-mips-linux-gnu g++-4.4-mips-linux-gnu

Some packages could not be installed. It might mean that you have requested 
an impossible situation or, if you are using the unstable version
that some needed packages have not yet been created or been moved out of "Incoming"
Following information might be useful to solve the situation.

Following package has dependencies that can not be satisfied:

Following information might be of help to solve the situation:
  g++-4.4-mips-linux-gnu: Depending on: libmpfr4 but can not be installed
  gcc-4.4-mips-linux-gnu: Depending on: cpp-4.4-mips-linux-gnu (= 4.4.5-8) but it will not be installed
E: Broken packages


According to http://packages.debian.org/sid/libmpfr4 this package is available for the i386 architecture.
