The value 3720150331 exceeds the length of a signed 32-bit integer. I have never had such a problem before with lower valued version numbers. The error appears in a macro called DL_SYSDEP_OSCHECK inside of: sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/dl-osinfo.h ''int version = _dl_discover_osversion ();'', which is a signed 32-bit value. In sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/dl-sysdep.c (where _dl_discover_osversion is defined) that function it operates in an unsigned manner, however it returns a signed value rather than an unsigned (cast to signed). -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.8 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Kernel: Linux 3.14.3720150331 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
