Thanks! I just stumbled on this bug, and you saved me from wasting time trying to track down this unimportant mps803.vpl file. :) Note that this bug is specific to the AMD64 package; the i386 version is fine, probably due to the lack of any SSE instructions. (Nitpick: this instruction is from SSSE3, not SSE3, which Phenom supports. Damn these confusing acronyms!) Interestingly, not only did this bug show up in the three day window between 2.3.dfsg-3 and 2.3.dfsg-4, it also disappears when recompiling -4 under current sid. Probably either a compiler bug that was fixed since then, or a glitch in the binary package compiled and uploaded by the maintainer. (I tried and failed to replicate it with GCC 4.7.1.) -- <elmo> Joy: thanks, joy <doogie> elmo: that's redundant, elmo <elmo> doogie: go play in traffic <doogie> ah, the elmo we know and love -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
