It's a bit early for me.. but get a non-defective strace (from potato) and
strace the spinning process. Sparc seems to have lots of weird problems
with APT that are just not explainable by anything other than a bad
kernel/libc.
I looked at something like the once ahh how did it go - apt calles timegm
and it goes in libc and starts spinning on a mutex from pthreads and never
returns. That was on some weird glibc, it wasn't 2.1.
