Bug#407461: boinc-client sends bogus platform '' on amd64

[Steffen Moeller]

Hi Thibaut,

I just tested 5.4.11-4 on an AMD X2 4200+ with Debian's SETI client which is 
fine. On all other 5 projects I tried so far did not support the _64 platform 
and reported that with the exact message that you where expecting.

While I am not convinced about the scientific merits of SIMAP,  I was indeed 
glad to have something to switch from SETI now ... I registered through 
boincmgr and the machine was smoothly accepted, I downloaded some HMMer 
package and crunch along :-)

This is the machine
http://boinc.bio.wzw.tum.de/boincsimap/show_host_detail.php?hostid=57421

In short: I cannot reproduce the erratic behaviour you reported. Does Debian's 
SETI work for you? Have you changed anything in the configuration scripts? If 
so, maybe some purging and a reinstallation would help?

Best regards

Steffen
