Hi,

cross-toolchain-base currently uses apt-cache in it's debian/rules:

DEB_VER_LINUX  := $(shell apt-cache policy linux-libc-dev | awk '/^ \*\*\*/ {print $$2}')

This makes the package FTBFS on reprodue.debian.net as the build
environment provided by debrebuild does not have an apt package cache.
Additionally the sbuild team plans to drop the apt cache from the build
chroot in forky. Please replace the line by:

DEB_VER_LINUX  := $(dpkg-query -W -f '$${Version}' linux-libc-dev)

The same applies to cross-toolchain-base-ports and
cross-toolchain-base-mipsen, please also apply the patch there.

Thanks!

Jochen
