This sounds a *lot* like the problems I had, which I mentioned on debian-arm a few months ago. If it wasn't gzip, it was grep or update-menus breaking, and once I had that working, apt started crashing. > I'm not sure if this was just some random effect, or a symptom of > further kernel problems, or something more sinister. I have a vague feeling that it may be a glibc problem or something similar, because after a seemingly unrelated big upgrade of my system everything suddenly worked - binaries that crashed before worked just fine. I've avoided upgrading my machine since then... FWIW, as I said before, I own one of the very first ARM710 processors. (My SA110 rev J died... ;-) Cheers, Richard -- __ _ |_) /| Richard Atterer | CS student at the Technische | GnuPG key: | \/�| http://atterer.net | Universit�t M�nchen, Germany | 0x888354F7 � '` � _______________________________________________ http://lists.arm.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/armlinux/mailinglists.php Please visit the above addresses for information on this list.
