Bug#857338: systemd-sysv: pre-depends fails to resolve in cross-architecture debootstrap from jessie

[Neil Williams]

Package: systemd-sysv
Version: 232-19
Severity: important

On a Jessie amd64 system, install qemu-static-arm and run:

sudo debootstrap --arch=arm64 --foreign --include  systemd-sysv sid sid-arm64 http://localhost/debian
sudo cp /usr/bin/qemu-aarch64-static sid-arm64/usr/bin
sudo chroot sid-arm64 ./debootstrap/debootstrap --second-stage

Assigning the bug to systemd-sysv as this is the trigger package.

This fails but completes when run on arm64 natively or when using debootstrap from stretch or sid.

running dpkg --configure --pending seems to fix things
