Technically python3-gsd builds on little-endian machines, but it does
not work.  Assumptions are made in the code about data structures
which means gsd files cannot be read on little-endian machines, and
tests fail on s390x. The python3-gsd is useless on these systems.

The issue is raised in Bug#1042500 and discussed upstream at
https://github.com/glotzerlab/gsd/issues/12

Since gsd in principle can't work on little-endian systems (without
large scale rewriting upstream), the binary packages are no longer
being built for little-endian.  For consistency, the old binary
packages on little-endian arches should now be removed.

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

python3-mdanalysis | 2.5.0+dfsg1-2 | s390x

------------------- Reason -------------------
NBS; python3-gsd not built for big-endian architectures
----------------------------------------------

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was superseded by another one.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 https://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].
