Adam, Okay! After spending quite a while writing a Perl script to manipulate the complete contents of the bug tracking system (hopefully that will be useful in the future, as well), here are two lists of bugs.
List 1 is a list of bugs that I've filed or sent additional information to the BTS about that are or may be PowerPC-specific. There are 19 bugs in this list. (Since I have an idea of what these are about, I've included a comments line with some more information.) List 2 is a list of bugs that mention PowerPC, powerpc, PPC, or ppc in their descriptions (not including the ones in List 1). There are 28 bugs in this list. List 1 ------ Bug 54248 Package: gmc Description: gmc: X crashes when gmc icons are clicked on Severity: normal Reporter: "C.M. Connelly" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Comments: not sure if this is still relevant; I quit running gmc ages ago. Bug 56472 Package: freeamp Description: freeamp won't run on PowerPC Severity: important Reporter: "C.M. Connelly" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Comments: freeamp is seriously broken Bug 56531 Package: xbase-clients Description: xbase-clients: xset dpms force functions fail [UPSTREAM] Severity: normal Reporter: "C.M. Connelly" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Comments: xserver doesn't support DPMS :-\ Bug 56601 Package: esound Description: esound: xmms plays scractchy audio through esd Severity: normal Reporter: "C.M.

Connelly" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Comments: I'm not sure if this one is PPC-specific -- no one else said they had this problem when I asked on debian-powerpc Bug 57421 Package: esound Description: esound: xmms plays scractchy audio through esd Severity: normal Reporter: "C.M. Connelly" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Comments: probably really an xmms bug; mpg123 seems to do fine now Bug 57600 Package: tkstep8.0 Description: PowerPC port of tkstep8.0 has broken dependencies, and breaks many tk applications Severity: critical Reporter: Renaud Dreyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Comment: tkstep is now uninstallable -- I've filed a separate bug report Bug 58450 Package: gdb Description: gdb: Won't compile on PowerPC Severity: grave Reporter: "C.M. Connelly" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Comment: gdb 5.0 works fine; I packaged it myself. The current version in Debian is totally broken, though, and the maintainer doesn't seem to be able to fix it. Bug 60145 Package: xserver-fbdev Description: xserver-fbdev: Segfaults when calling chunk_free on PowerPC [UPSTREAM] Severity: normal Reporter: "C.M. Connelly" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Comments: segfault triggered by xmms; forwarded upstream, but still not fixed.

Severity: done Reporter: Konstantinos Margaritis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Comments: We fixed the segfault (endianness issues with the high score files), also fixed char signedness errors, but the game's unplayable because the words zap across the screen too fast to read, let alone type. See #66316. Bug 62053 Package: a2ps Description: a2ps: segfaults when run with --list=defaults Severity: normal Reporter: "C.M. Connelly" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Comments: Still crashes. Forwarded upsteam. Bug 63853 Package: communicator-smotif-47 Description: communicator-smotif-47: Generates BadDrawable X Errors Severity: normal Reporter: "C.M. Connelly" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Comment: Weird problem, probably not PPC-specific, went away when I trashed my Debian Netscape packages and installed an aliened Communicator 4.73.
