I hope Debian will find all 32bit problems in the new versions, because there will be more people want to use it. We have a world wide problem in 2038. All old unix (like) systems will fail because the signed value of unix will cause programs in all layers to fail, starting with the kernel and c-library..I have tested with vxworks which is the only systems that works after 2038.Debian is the only version that still supports newer kernel versions on x86 machines. Certain programs require specific old java versions for their program to run after 2038. And there will be many more problems. Solving these issues must be done soon before knowledge of the application is unavailable at the time of the wrap in 2038.Can you help me with a debian version that works? You could also pass on this information.
This is the year 2038 problem for 32-bit architectures. Debian has release goals for fixing or working around this issue for most 32-bit architectures, but based on Debian's wiki, i386 will not be transitioning time_t for 64-bit time [1].
