Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Please remove the s390x *binary* package gdm3 (only that one, not the
rest of src:gdm3) from unstable and experimental. It is uninstallable
on s390x due to gnome-shell not working (it fails build-time tests),
and in any case a desktop environment that requires a GPU is not really
useful or appropriate for a CPU architecture that only exists in a
mainframe form-factor.

I've modified the gdm3 source package in unstable to skip building
gdm3.deb on s390x. Note that the rest of the binaries from src:gdm3,
notably libgdm1, should remain available on s390x to keep gnome-panel
installable without s390x-specific hacks in gnome-panel, so that
task-gnome-desktop:s390x can depend on gnome-session-flashback, so that
uninstallable task packages won't break testing migration.

The corresponding change in experimental is not in the archive yet, but
is queued in gnome-team git for the next upload.

I tried

    dak rm  --rdep-check --no-action --suite=unstable --architecture=s390x 
--partial --binary gdm3
    dak rm  --rdep-check --no-action --suite=experimental --architecture=s390x 
--partial --binary gdm3

which says there are no reverse-dependencies.

Thanks,
    smcv

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from unstable:

      gdm3 |   3.30.2-3 | s390x

------------------- Reason -------------------
NBS; uninstallable
----------------------------------------------

Note that the package(s) have simply been removed from the tag
database and may (or may not) still be in the pool; this is not a bug.
The package(s) will be physically removed automatically when no suite
references them (and in the case of source, when no binary references
it).  Please also remember that the changes have been done on the
master archive and will not propagate to any mirrors until the next
dinstall run at the earliest.

Packages are usually not removed from testing by hand. Testing tracks
unstable and will automatically remove packages which were removed
from unstable when removing them from testing causes no dependency
problems. The release team can force a removal from testing if it is
really needed, please contact them if this should be the case.

Bugs which have been reported against this package are not automatically
removed from the Bug Tracking System.  Please check all open bugs and
close them or re-assign them to another package if the removed package
was superseded by another one.

The version of this package that was in Debian prior to this removal
can still be found using http://snapshot.debian.org/.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to [email protected].
