I am pretty sure this isn't a Debian procps issue.
The error message means it either is a script that has the wrong
interpreter or there is an architecture mismatch.
If it is a script, you have bigger issues to deal with, so it is probably
Raspbian did something odd with the compiling.
You'll need to raise an issue with them at
