Your subject is a bit misleading. You are talking about an installation of Debian powerpc (32-Bit) on a 64-bit-capable machine. > Does anybody know why? It was working fine until a couple of days ago… Yes, as announced by DSA, the powerpc buildds have been shut down: > https://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2018/06/msg00004.html We are currently in the process to properly move powerpc to Debian Ports. In the meantime, you can either reinstall your machine with Debian ppc64 from Debian Ports [1] or wait until the transition is finished. Jessie on powerpc is no longer being updated and supported. You will have to switch to Debian unstable. Adrian > [1] https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/ -- .''`.
