Ok, but this again is not the point of my email ;) This is not about "just me". I know how to help me in that case. I want to prevent users facing the same problem and writing mails like my initial mail. I'm quiet sure that there are numerous users out there still using cvsup as client so they will start like me with cvsup on ther new instaled system. It would be better if they just would not be able to install cvsup if it will not run and we don't want it to run. I was also curious if it is only me where it fails on amd64 or if it is because it was compiled on an Atom 330 with some amd64 flags determined by the system which does not fit the Atom 330 (gcc 4.2 is older than the CPU design). With other words: If the support for cvsup on amd64 is dropped, it has to be marked as BROKEN/IGNORE/whatever. Otherwise it need to get fixed for 9.0?
