All future APT versions will be compiled without pthreads for the forseeable future. At least untill someone fixes this rather serious flaw. Jason

This is a known issue with apt-cache on sun4c systems. The apt author has compiled a version without pthreads and it seems to have fixed the problem. I might just make an NMU for this so we can resolve this problem until a permanent fix is produced (which is a pthread problem). Ben

Get APT 0.3.11.1 compiled for sparc at http://www.debian.org/~jgg - it should fix these problems. Jason
apt-cache hang! on IPX
Hi, I'm running slink on IPX. I just upgrade apt to apt in slink-proposed-updates. After that apt acts weird. apt-cache will stay forever. I've read some discussion about apt on IPC weeks ago. But here apt-get ?? work fine except upgrade which I think it call apt-cache. On the other hand, I have another slink on sparcstation 4. With same apt package, it doesn't have this problem.
