Hello, I'm almost ready to help to the port again. I've got a (new) sparc classic w/ 1.3GB disk & 24 MB RAM in place of my sparc5 :-(. Well, Debian/sparc is now running on it :-)) I'm installing the latest packages linked with libc6: gcc, binutils, ... Especially, i've downloaded ncurses3.4 but it seems there is a mistake in its dependencies: # dpkg -I ncurses3.4_1.9.9g-7.deb ... Depends: libc5 (>= 5.3.12), libc6 ...
In effect, it's a problem in the use of ldd when computing dependencies. ldd from the ldso 1.8.10 package reports a double linkage against both libc5 & libc6, so we need a newer ldso. There is one at lix.polytechnique.fr ftp site under /pub/Linux/debian/sparc/exp.aout97 (ldso 1.9.2-1). I can rebuild it and upload next week if noone else would work on it.
