Public bug reported:

I am one of the lifelines developers
lifelines 3.0.61 is a 32 bit architecture application, it will eventually core 
dump and corrupt it's generated databases if built and run as a 64 bit 
application. Generating lots of noise on the lifelines mailing list but 
apparently no debian maintainers look there.

There are 2 solutions
1. only release lifelines 3.0.61 on intel/amd arch's as a i386 package
   (bad, head stuck in mud, solution, not to mention debians push to
   upgrade to 64 bit apps).
2. upgrade to version 3.2.0 which has been ported to 64 bit architectures.
   it is available on the current lifelines development archives at
   github.com/lifelines/lifelines

Please remove any 3.0.xx or 3.1.xx 64 bit built packages, as they only corrupt 
user databases
and if you insist on shipping 3.0.61 only ship 32 bit versions which are stable 
on both
i386 and amd64 architectures. But it is an old and no longer supported version.
