Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: unblock
Please unblock package spyder and spyder-unittest (If this isn't the correct Usertags to use, please forgive me - I couldn't figure out a better one.) [ Reason ] The binary packages of spyder (spyder, python3-spyder and spyder-common) are all "Architecture: all". However, the 5.x versions of spyder (the previous one in stable was 4.x) now depend on python3-pyqt5.qtwebengine, which is only available on six architectures. For this reason, spyder's autopkgtest has seen a regression on ppc64el and s390x as the package is no longer installable on those architectures. spyder-unittest depends on spyder, and so has exactly the same issue. And when spyder-notebook and spyder-terminal are ready, they will face the same as well, in spite of being Architecture: all. I don't know how to handle this situation - can the package be allowed to migrate to testing and only appear in the Packages file for those architectures on which python3-pyqt5.qtwebengine is available? If not, what should I do? [ Impact ] Spyder is a popular package and it would be very sad if it were not in Debian in the future. [ Tests ] A large unit test suite. [ Checklist ] The checklist points do not seem to be relevant at this stage in the release cycle unblock spyder/5.3.0+dfsg1-7 unblock spyder-unittest/0.5.0-3
