Segfaults on powerpc platform

[Tim Verhoeven]

Hi,

I'm trying to run apt-rpm on a powerpc server but I'm having some
issues. The OS on the server is RHEL4 and I've recompiled Dag's apt
package on that system. That works fine.

Now most apt command segfault, but some don't. For example doing a
apt-get update works fine. It looks like doing any kind of transaction
with the RPM databases it self will cause a segfault (installing
packages, updating, removing, ...).

Has anyone have a idea where to look or the best way to debug this ?
I've tried both the latest stable (org 3.2) as the latest test release
(org 3.90). I don't think it is a 64 bit issue since we have apt-rpm
working fine on 32 and 64 Intel systems.

Thanks,
Tim
