I posted the following too ;)

My understanding is that during unpacking, a scripts checks for
incompatibilities, before continuing installation. The script doesn't
check dependencies, but perhaps it tests supported CPU features.
There's no claim that the package might be corrupted, but there is a
message, regarding the PAE feature being not supported.
