Check your /etc/apt/sources.list file *in the chroot* and make sure it can get to the 32-bit archive. Make sure that 'apt-get update' works in the chroot. It looks to me like apt has no package lists at all. If you have 'dchroot' configured you can run the commands like this: dchroot editor /etc/apt/sources.list dchroot apt-get update dchroot apt-get install openoffice.org Bob
