Hi,

inspired by your suggestion of a 32-into-64 bit chroot I put together a 32-bit Raspbian / 64-bit Debian-in-a-container (systemd-nspawn) bootable image (forum post here) for the RPi3.

Thanks for making the lightbulb go on on this for me!

Best,

sakaki

PS apologies for posting this hat-tip as an issue; I tried sending to the email address in your profile but it bounced. S.

I have recently tried to use this on a fresh copy of the official Raspbian image with the 64 bit kernel enabled(just an added arm_64bit=1 to the /boot/config.txt), but it didn't really work.

First it made some errors due to changed version numbers,
than it had problems because it wasn't changing all the needed version numbers in the mesa libs and a missing dependency.

However i was able to fix all that(i can make a PR with the changes i did if you want), after that it said it misses libllvm7:arm64 and libstdc++6:arm64, as i had problems earlier with adding them to the script i installed them and all their dependencies manually just for a test run and would have tried to integrate them into the script later.

Than i restarted the script and it first created all the stealthrpi packages as it for some reason thinks there is one too much stealthrpi file, but as it came to the point where it last time missed some dependencies this time it printed

dpkg: error processing archive /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-PjtObd/44-libgl1-mesa-dri_18.3.6-2_arm64.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite shared '/usr/share/drirc.d/00-mesa-defaults.conf', which is different from other instances of package libgl1-mesa-dri:arm64

and than crashed with the message

Errors were encountered while processing:
 /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-PjtObd/44-libgl1-mesa-dri_18.3.6-2_arm64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

and i am currently unable to fix that.

This is the almost full log of the second run: szZSQsN2, its not a full log because the console didn't save the start as it was too much text, before this the only things happening were downloading the stealthrpi packets and a list of the stealthrpi packages.
