[pkg-nvidia-devel] Bug#462429: SIGILL in libGLcore.so.1 from nvidia-glx 169.07-2 due to SSE instructions

[Adam Szojda]

Package: nvidia-glx
Version: 169.07-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi.

libGLcore.so.169.07 seems to be compiled with SSE instructions enabled.

Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.

(gdb) disass 0xb7978840 0xb7978848
Dump of assembler code from 0xb7978840 to 0xb7978848:

End of assembler dump.

This makes it unusable on older hardware without SSE support like mine:
