So how to act for two bugs?: #203322: python2.2: Python fails with illegal instruction during postinst on sparc32 #203324: libc6: __strtod_internal fails with illegal instruction on sparc32. Keeping them as "Critical" is not acceptable for me, if you guys don't provide any usable information, I simply close or downgrade. Regards, -- gotom
