  • Need help installing dpkg on an aarch64 system with no build tools

    From Alex Ryan@21:1/5 to All on Fri May 15 00:00:02 2020
    Hi dpkg team,

    If any of you have time, would you be so kind as to advise me on how I
    should solve my problem?

    Alternatively, if you could point me in the right direction, that would be
    very much appreciated.

    I've posted this on stack exchange:

    https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/586695/where-can-i-get-a-tarball-of-the-debian-package-manager-for-aarch64

    Thanks,
    Alex

    I've replied there in more detail, but the very short summary is that
    I think this is not a great idea, and you should consider using a
    Debian chroot instead.
