Hi,

there is an architecture specific bug for jasper:

Can someone of the amd64 team confirm this? Is this caused by a broken
(and now updated) build environment (compiler?) on amd64? Is there
anything special to keep in mind to prevent this kind of problem in the
future?

Would a binNMU recompile be the right (and final) solution here?

Thanks,
