Segfaults on powerpc platform

[Tim Verhoeven]

Another update on getting this going. I was able to finaly build the
latest devel version (0.5.15lorg3.92) on RHEL4. Thanks for the fixes
to be able to compile without sqlite.

Now, this still being PPC means that most userland stuff is build als
ppc, not as ppc64. This includes apt itself because certains libs it
requires are not available in ppc64, only as ppc.

This has a a result that the multilib detection does not work it seems
as I get lot of duplicate package warning. So I guess the multilib
detection routine needs a update. (Check uname for example).
Anyway, to fix this I add :
   Architecture "ppc64";
to the apt.conf file. And now it runs in multilib mode :-)

Then running apt-get -s update runs fine but returns this error :

W: There are multiple versions of "kernel.64bit" in your system.

This package won't be cleanly updated, unless you leave
only one version. To leave multiple versions installed,
you may remove that warning by setting the following
option in your configuration file:

RPM::Allow-Duplicated { "^kernel.64bit$"; };

I have this in my apt.conf :

        Allow-Duplicated {
                "^kernel$";
                "^kernel-";
                "^gpg-pubkey$";
        };

So I don't understand why it would complain about duplicate kernels.

Any ideas ?

Thanks,
Tim
