In addition, Debian jessie (to be released next weekend) does not support sparc and the new sparc64 port was not added to Debian yet. I would encourage you to switch to another architecture or get involved in making the sparc64 port happen for Debian stretch (the release after jessie). https://wiki.debian.org/Sparc64 https://lists.debian.org/debian-sparc/ https://wiki.debian.org/PortsSparc https://lwn.net/Articles/596663/ -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#782749: general: All browsers except Links2 crash constantly and iceweasel is broken
Control: tags -1 + moreinfo Hi, All browsers I have tried but Links2 crash constantly. Often they will not run at all. Please provide more detail about this. Which browsers did you try: How did you install and start them? What do they output? I expect the browsers to work and not crash all the time. So do we, and I am very sure that this is what happens for most users. I cannot install Chromium, and cannot install iceweasel or related browsers as these packages are broken. What do you mean by saying that the „packages are broken“? iceweasel is a bit outdated, but existent in wheezy for sparc; Chromium is not existent for sparc, which cannot be called „broken“. -nik signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
