Package: gnubg
Version: 1.02.000-1
Severity: important
Hello Russ!
I only get following error when I try to start gnubg:
"This version of GNU Backgammon is compiled with AVX support but this machine
does not support AVX"
My CPU:
$ cat /proc/cpuinfo
model name : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+
AFAIK AVX is not supported by the Athlon series at all.
The upstream changelog states that it took the AVX code out of experimental
recently, so it might be an upstream bug.
Let me know if you need additional information,
Erik
PS: It works on a machine with a Athlon II X4 640; Athlon II CPUs support AVX.

Binary: gnubg gnubg-data

Version: 1.02.000-2
Distribution: unstable
Urgency: medium
Maintainer: Russ Allbery <[email protected]>
Changed-By: Russ Allbery <[email protected]>
Description:
gnubg - graphical or console backgammon program with analysis
gnubg-data - data files for GNU Backgammon
Closes: 724685
Changes:
gnubg (1.02.000-2) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* Setting urgency to medium because gnubg won't currently run on any
host that does not have AVX SIMD extensions.
* Return to the previous behavior of enabling only SSE2 on amd64 and not
enabling any SIMD classes on i386 or ia64. We can't assume anything
about i386 processors (at least yet), and I don't know enough about
ia64 to pick good defaults, so err on the side of safety. Wikipedia
claims that all x86-64 CPUs implement at least SSE2. Disable support
for AVX, fixing problems on hosts without it. (Closes: #724685)
