Package: libjemalloc2 Version: 5.3.0-3 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-powe...@lists.debian.org, d...@vasilevsky.ca User: debian-powe...@lists.debian.org Usertags: powerpc
This package's rules file explicitly enables Altivec on powerpc, but many powerpc machines use G3 or earlier processors that don't support Altivec. This results in a SIGILL when packages linking against jemalloc are run on those machines. Eg: on an iBook G3 running tmux, I get a SIGILL on a 'vxor' instruction. Debian policy has traditionally been to support baseline CPUs when it's at all possible, so this package should disable Altivec on 32-bit powerpc. -- System Information: Debian Release: trixie/sid APT prefers unreleased APT policy: (500, 'unreleased'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Kernel: Linux 6.12.27-powerpc (UP) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_CA:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages libjemalloc2 depends on: ii libc6 2.41-7 ii libgcc-s1 14.2.0-19 ii libstdc++6 14.2.0-19 libjemalloc2 recommends no packages. libjemalloc2 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
