Package: dpkg
Version: 1.13.24
Architecture: sparc
Severity: grave
Hello,
I have some SparcSTATION 20 with one or two SuperSPARC-II and 448 MB of
memory (thus, HIGHMEM is used). On these workstations, dpkg works fine.
If I replace SuperSPARC-II by one, two or four ROSS RT-626, I cannot use
dpkg because it craches with a random error when it tries to configure
the package (it cannot read the configuration script due to a data
corruption. Sometimes, an EOF in the middle of the script...).
I have tested dpkg on three SS20 that perfectly work with SuperSPARC
and with four different HyperSPARC modules, and with and without HIGHMEM.
Results : in all configurations (with and without HIGHMEM), dpkg
crashes with HyperSPARC and works with SuperSPARC. I don't understand
this memory corruption because the workstations work fine in all
configurations I have tested ! Kernels are 2.6.18.x.
Any idea ?
Regards,
JKB
