Package: apt Version: 0.8.15.2 Severity: important apt-get update fails to update list when it's configured to use http transport. signal 10 is a buserror here on sparc hardware. This hardware is very sensible to memory alignment access, more than intel hardware. Replacing all lines deb http://.... with lines like deb ftp://... allow the process update it's list correctly.
