Hi Joel, Sorry, I cannot reproduce the behavior you are describing. I have a SS20 box, running sid with Debian's linux-image-2.6.18-3-sparc32 (version 2.6.18-6) kernel:
debian:~# uname -a Linux debian 2.6.18-3-sparc32 #1 Fri Nov 24 16:10:16 GMT 2006 sparc GNU/Linux debian:~# cat /proc/version Linux version 2.6.18-3-sparc32 (Debian 2.6.18-6) ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-20)) #1 Fri Nov 24 16:10:16 GMT 2006 debian:~# cat /proc/cpuinfo cpu : ROSS HyperSparc RT625 or RT626 fpu : ROSS HyperSparc combined IU/FPU promlib : Version 3 Revision 2 prom : 2.25 type : sun4m ncpus probed : 2 ncpus active : 1 CPU0Bogo : 133.12 CPU0ClkTck : 133000000 MMU type : ROSS HyperSparc contexts : 4096 nocache total : 2252800 nocache used : 492800 To stress-test dpkg I've just ran 'apt-get install kde' on an unstable system. That a pretty big update: [..] 0 upgraded, 400 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded. Need to get 242MB of archives. After unpacking 678MB of additional disk space will be used. and it completed without any problems. I also do not recall having any problems with dpkg recently. What OBP version do you have in these machines? ISTR that to run latest HyperSPARC CPUs from Ross you need either 2.25 from Sun, or 2.25R from Ross. If you are running anything lower, I suggest you try to upgrade your firmware, see http://www.sunshack.org/data/bootroms.html for details.
