Dear FTP Masters,
Please remove from unstable the ppc64el binaries for rocfft and all
its reverse dependencies. I believe hipfft is the only other package
to be removed. The spfft package was a reverse dependency of rocfft
on ppc64el in spfft 1.1.1-4 and earlier, but the ROCm backend for
ppc64el was removed in spfft 1.1.1-5.
rocfft 6.4.3-1 FTBFS on ppc64el due to an internal compiler error [1].
This is blocking migration of the new rocfft package to testing.
The cost-benefit ratio for fixing the compiler on ppc64el is poor
because the ROCm packages don't seem to work on ppc64el anyway. I've
included an explanation about why ROCm was built on ppc64el in the
first place in my rocblas removal request [2].
The rocfft ICE appears to be in a different part of the compiler than
the rocblas ICE, which is a lot more concerning to me than if there
were multiple packages affected by the same compiler bug.
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
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:
librocfft-dev | 6.1.2-1 | ppc64el
librocfft0 | 6.1.2-1 | ppc64el
librocfft0-tests | 6.1.2-1 | 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was superseded by another one.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].
