Description

I'm using a Raspberry Pi B running Raspbian Jessie Lite. I added the 'backports' repository and installed from there, as follows:

echo "deb http://http.debian.net/debian jessie-backports main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/backports.list

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install -t jessie-backports suricata

That's it. Everything seemed to install fine, with no errors. However, when I try to run Suricata for the very first time, it fails with "Illegal instruction". This includes just trying to get the build info:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ suricata --build-info
Illegal instruction

Can you try to build suricata instead of using the backport?

This should probably be reported to the Debian bug tracking system instead. It's likely an issue with compiler flags that are wrong (e.g. march=native)

It looks like backports doesn't work for this armv6 based system: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=827596

" - don't use stuff from backports
- compile the packages from jessie-backports for oneself on
one's system, so they are compiled with the right build
flags for one's machine
- use the official Debian armel port instead of Raspbian
The armel port is the port of Debian for ARM CPUs without
hardware floating point support, and that has lower CPU
requirements, so it will work on the RPi - but probably
really, really slowly"
