A possibly relevant difference between those systems is that AMD Athlons
are 32 bit, unless I'm mistaken. Maybe some dependencies are outdated for
that architecture.

Anyway it would be time to provide some real error messages. If it's the
bitness or too high version requirements for some dependencies that came
since 3.8.4, the package manager should be able to say that.
