Bug#634696: apt: http transport dies with signal 10



Package: apt
Version: 0.8.15.2
Severity: important

apt-get update fails to update list when it's configured to use http transport.
signal 10 is a buserror here on sparc hardware.
This hardware is very sensible to memory alignment access, more than intel hardware.
Replacing all lines deb http://.... with lines like deb ftp://... allow the process
update it's list correctly.

Here's the transcript:
root# apt-get update
Get:1 http://ftp.de.debian.org sid InRelease [146 kB]
E: Method http has died unexpectedly!
E: Sub-process http received signal 10.
