Bug#383759: exim4-config: Fails to upgrade/install

[Christian Hammers]

Hi

The last functions in the backtrace belong to the rather new SSL code
which has been activated in 5.0.22-4 so it is indeed be likely that the
problem "suddenly" appears after the last update.
(quick fix: manually install 5.0.22-3 again, it might still be in 
/var/cache/apt/archives)

I checked the build log[1] and it says that the
(libmysqlclient15off_5.0.24-1) package was tried to get compiled for the
i486-linux-gnu target.
Sadly the further g++ calls in the build log do not seem to have a --target=
paramter so I cannot tell for sure what GCC actually did.

The 100 MHz Cyrix CPU was a Pentium clone i.e. at least no pre-i486 CPU,
right?

In the source code I found no obvious architecture dependend optimizing
parts and neither a related bug report on http://bugs.mysql.com.


Please try if the official MySQL i386 version works better. Download
 "Linux (non RPM, Intel C/C++ compiled, glibc-2.3) downloads
  Linux (x86)	Standard	5.0.24    26.0M	Download"
from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.0.html, unpack it and just
copy the libmysqlclient.so.15.0.0 over to /usr/lib/



bye,
