debootstrap's Makefile uses 'dpkg' to determine architecture, however gentoo doesn't list dpkg as a dependancy. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge debootstrap 2. 3. Actual Results: >>> Unpacking debootstrap_0.1.17.30.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/debootstrap-0.1.17.30/work >>> Source unpacked. make: dpkg: Command not found ultimately, we wind up with an installation of debootstrap which doesn't actually have a debootstrap program (or a devices.tar.gz) in it. =) Expected Results: debootstrap and devices.tar.gz should have been merged.
