Bug#199203: apt-get dies from "Illegal instruction"s on some (old) machines
Package: apt
Version: 0.5.5.1
Severity: grave
Tags: sid
Justification: renders package unusable
on some (rather old) machines apt-get breaks and says "Illegal instruction".
happens with 0.5.5.1 while 0.5.4 is ok. so downgrading 'fixes' this problem.
here's the output from strace:
