Does this always produce the same outcome?


Yes, at least three times.

   Output was "Illegal instruction" with a return value of 132.

Architecture: i386 (i586)

There are some things that would help the aptitude maintainers figure
out what the problem is:

Send the output of this command:

cat /proc/cpuinfo

Thanks for the info.

Looks like a problem with Boost, and I've been checking in its BTS and:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=794622

The AMD K6 is an i585, or at least not a fully compatible i686, if I
recall correctly.


I've pinged the maintainers of the x32 port to see if they go ahead with
the NMU (pushing a release with that patch included).  I am not sure if
we can do much more about it from aptitude's side.

So it was officially announced that these processors will not be
supported and it seems that there will not be a reversal of this
decision:

 https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2016/01/msg00001.html

 https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2015/09/msg00589.html


It seems that the only solution for you is to use older releases only.

So at this point, I think that we cannot do anything about this from
aptitude's side, sorry.  I am closing the bug report.


Cheers.
