[Marc Haber]

This is Debian Bug #420547, an ancient issue about aide segfaulting on
SPARC architectures if the whirlpool hash is enabled.

mhash claims that the issue was fixed back in 2012. Can you please try
current aide on a sparc system, enabling whirlpool? You enable whirlpool
by adding "+whirlpool" ot the Checksums line in aide.conf.

Does aide runin that situation?

I do fully understand that you might not be willing to try this after
waiting for a decade or do not have sparc systems available any more.
Also, sparc is no longer a release architecture in Debian.

I will therefore close this issue by the end of 2017 if no reports come
in that the bug still applies.

Greetings
Marc
