It seems Heisenbug Principle in this case applies, too. Maybe we should remove qgis for this arch and wait some porters have time and will to help? Well, not just this arch but presumably all big endian ones, if this is indeed an endianness issue. Is there confirmation that rebuilding (and installing) the arch:all packages on powerpc is enough to make qgis work there? If yes, it'd be interesting to look at any differences with the archive's packages.

Which package(s) exactly are you each rebuilding locally and installing from the local build? In particular, the *_all.deb ones as well or only the *_powerpc.deb ones? If the answer is 'both' for Steve and 'only the latter' for Hideki-san, the problem is most likely an endianness issue related to the database it's trying to load when it crashes. That was also my initial guess, due to reported log and different endianess. -- Francesco P.

Is it possible to force a rebuild of the .debs in testing? Interesting, I cannot reproduce it, always crash with - packages from repository - packages built with pbuilder (sid) - packages built with pbuilder (squeeze) - source from git, built with pbuilder (sid) - source from git, built with pbuilder (squeeze) Steve, how do you build your deb files? -- Francesco P.
