Hi. I installed Debian/Sparc yesterday (converting this SPARCstation 2 from a RedHat machine :->). It was a bit of a struggle (neither the boot floppies nor the network install seemed to work and I had to kludge around installing the root tarball directly onto a hard disk partition from the RedHat setup) but I got there eventually...
Anyway, having finally got to a reasonably sane setup, I noticed that a few of the packages I'd find useful weren't in the archive, so I thought I'd have a go at compiling them myself. [the package I'm looking at is exim, plus the pcre library it requires]. I've worked around the missing rose.h and netatalk/at.h problem by simply copying those files from (a) an unstable kernel and (b) the netatalk source package. However, there are problems trying to package a shared library because dpkg-shlibdeps tries to run ldd on the created library, which gives the error ldd: libpcre.so.1 exited with signal 11 This seems to happen with all the shared libraries on the system, not just ones I've compiled. It doesn't happen if you run ldd on an executable. Is this a known bug? I'm using ldso 1.9.9-1, libc6 2.0.93-980414-1. The problem doesn't seem to actually have any effect except to cause the dependencies to be listed wrongly, AFAICT. At least, pgrep works and it's linked against libpcre1.
