IMHO the correct solution is to just drop Packages-arch-specific unconditionally. Packages-arch-specific was used historically, but most of what it did contain already moved to build dependencies. All that is left right now are 20 packages (rootskel-gtk and X modules) on s390x, attempting to build these X modules would be both pointless and harmless (no matter whether or not the build succeeds). Perhaps confirmation from the installer team that building rootskel-gtk on s390x will not have any unexpected side effects, but otherwise what is left in Packages-arch-specific is not even worth bothering to move to the build dependencies. > Thanks! > > Jochen (together with the wanna-build team) cu Adrian
