http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1202318 Bug ID: 1202318 Summary: john: Sorry, AVX is required for this build Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: Security Assignee: security-team@suse.de Reporter: walter.haidinger@gmx.at QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Attempting to run john-1.9.0-7.9.x86_64 on a venerable AMD Phenom II shows: "Sorry, AVX is required for this build" I think AVX support should be either optional in or at least a package or binary for older platforms would be nice. Especially because an installed john is run by the scripts of the seccheck package. Note: this is an _old_ bug, there for years but it resurfaced recently which made to finally create this bugreport. The script which comments out seccheck's check_guessable_passwords() broke at some point (there's no option to suppress a john scan, afaict). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
