   7 bitcoin related blog post</a> mentioned that the new bitcoin package
   8 for Debian was waiting in NEW.  It was accepted by the Debian
   9 ftp-masters 2013-01-19, and have been available in unstable since
  10 then.  It was automatically copied to Ubuntu, and is available in
  11 their Raring version too.</p>

  13 <p>But there is a strange problem with the build that block this new
  14 version from being available on the i386 and kfreebsd-i386
  15 architectures.  For some strange reason, the autobuilders in Debian
  16 for these architectures fail to run the test suite on these
  17 architectures <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/672524">BTS #672524</a>.
  18 We are so far unable to reproduce it when building it manually, and
  19 no-one have been able to propose a fix.  If you got an idea what is
  20 failing, please let us know via the BTS.</p>
