I think that this is a duplicate of this one, from 2012:

  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=686124

It also crashes in my system every time, for a few years.

Maybe it is still good to do as David asks, just in case.

I think that all of the new-ish ARM stuff works with armhf, armel is from
Dreamplug and devices of older generations.
