I just installed potato in a sparc 1+ here, and I had the problem that exim_3.12-6 was depending on libdb1.85, which doesn't exist, and therefore didn't want to install. libdb1, on the other hand, is alive and well. I sent a bug report to the maintainer but he said his version didn't depend at all

Hi everybody! I read through the archive of this mailing list and found a couple of mails concerning the installation of Debian on a SS5/170. People seem to have problems, but in principle I read from those mails that they were able to install it and have a running system?! Well, to make it short
