Debian is not switching to 64-bit time_t on their x86 architecture, because they see it as a legacy architecture whose primary use is running legacy binaries.

This transition is mainly to benefit 32-bit ARM since it's likely to be used in new systems for many more years.
- pwdisswordfishc 2y agoWow, so the multi-hour package conflict resolution I am going through RIGHT NOW on my 2004 laptop is completely pointless? Good to know.
