Dear FTP Masters,
Please remove from unstable the ppc64el binaries for rocblas and all
its reverse dependencies. I believe the affected pacakges are miopen,
rocsolver, hipblas, and hipsolver.
rocblas 6.4.4-2 FTBFS on ppc64el due to an internal compiler error [1].
This is blocking migration of the new rocblas package to testing.
I originally enabled the ppc64el build for rocblas because there was KFD
driver support for ROCm on ppc64el in the upstream kernel. Fixing the
x86-ism in the ROCm userspace code was straightforward. However, I have
never managed to find ppc64el hardware that could use these packages. The
tests failed when executed on a ppc64el system with AMD GPU hardware.
The upstream ROCm project does not support ROCm on ppc64el. AMD will
accept patches if we can get it working, but the help they can offer in
fixing problems is quite limited.
The cost-benefit ratio for fixing the compiler on ppc64el is quite
poor given that the packages won't work anyway. I think we should
drop the ppc64el builds of the ROCm math libraries until we have
evidence that they work on that platform. As such, we'll need to
remove the existing ppc64el binaries.
Thank you for your help!
Sincerely,
Cory Bloor

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from unstable:
librocblas-dev | 5.5.1+dfsg-7 | ppc64el
librocblas0 | 5.5.1+dfsg-7 | ppc64el
librocblas0-bench | 5.5.1+dfsg-7 | ppc64el
librocblas0-tests | 5.5.1+dfsg-7 | ppc64el
------------------- Reason -------------------
ICE; binaries don't work anyway
----------------------------------------------
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].
