hi list,
i had some troubles installing debian via debootstrap into an arch linux 
host system. although i have an athlon 64 i'm still running arch in ia32 
mode. the vanilla vserver build -m debootstrap... command refused to do 
anything after downloading debootstrap because it was unable to identify 
my system architecture. i fixed line 96 of vserver-build.debootstrap to 
  read
arch=$(arch 2>/dev/null) || arch=
since the uname command preceding that yielded something like 
"AuthenticAMD" for my specific setup--which is of course not a valid 
architecture to pass to debootstrap --arch. i think using uname -m would 
be a valid choice, too.
after that, the vserver build process continued as expected.
achim.
