Some notes: * this bug (#376890) is not architecture specific. * petsc had binaries on hppa, though not anymore If I'm right illuminator will only be able to transition to testing when both this bug is fixed and the hppa issue is fixed (either by having working binaries for petsc on hppa or by removing the previous hppa illuminator binaries)...
