readelf not found on startup

[h4x]

Problem: If i start the i2prouter with "i2prouter start" i got the error message "readelf not found" but the i2prouter is starting.

Solution: After installing the package "dpkg-cross" no error message on startup of i2p.

OS: Debian Wheezy (Linux debian 3.4.79-r0-s20-rm2+ #54 SMP)
Arch: armv7l
Java: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0-b132)
i2p-Version: i2p-router 0.9.13-1~deb7u+1 (from i2p repo)
readelf-output:
# readelf -A /proc/self/exe | grep Tag_ABI_VFP_args
# Tag_ABI_VFP_args: VFP registers

Thanks for the report. I'll look into it.

Additional informations:

• OS and i2p are installed on and running from the sd-card.
• OS-Image: ​https://romanrm.net/dl/a20/debian/a20-debian-server-2gb.2014-02-18b.img.bz2

What is the version of the wrapper package?

$ dpkg -l 'service-wrapper' 'libservice-wrapper-jni' 'libservice-wrapper-java'

Can you try the wrapper package from Wheezy to see if it'll work without needing dpkg-cross? Something like apt-get install -t wheezy service-wrapper libservice-wrapper-jni libservice-wrapper-java -dpkg-cross would probably take care of it.

ii libservice-wrapper-java 3.5.22-1~deb7u1 all Jar daemon wrapper java libraries
ii libservice-wrapper-jni 3.5.22-1~deb7u1 armhf Jar daemon wrapper JNI libraries
ii service-wrapper 3.5.22-1~deb7u1 armhf Jar daemon wrapper

I think these are the dependencies of the i2p package. Without 'dpkg-cross' i got the message 'readelf not found' because the binary 'readelf' doesn't exist. It comes with the 'dpkg-cross' package.

quote ​https://packages.debian.org/stretch/dpkg-cross -

dpkg-cross is a tool for installing libraries and headers from packages which have not been converted for Multi-Arch to support cross compiling.

This package contains only the deprecated dpkg-cross binary. Future releases will drop the dpkg-cross and libdebian-dpkgcross-perl binary packages.

readelf is in the binutils package, which everybody should have, so not sure what this is about.
