Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected], [email protected]
Control: affects -1 + src:ruby-gnome
Control: block 1148038 by -1
User: [email protected]
Usertags: remove

Usertags: s390x
WebKitGTK can no longer work on big-endian architectures as a result of an
upstream move from Cairo to Skia, as announced in
<https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2026/09/msg00139.html> and
#1148038. The latest WebKitGTK security advisory lists around 200 CVEs,
so it seems dangerous to hold it back to an older version for longer
than is strictly necessary.
ruby-gnome has a binary package that depends on WebKitGTK, and removal
of that binary package was requested in #1148247. However, if we remove
ruby-gnome from s390x completely, not many packages are affected:
* mikutter, a Twitter client (Architecture: all)
* ninix-kagari, a desktop toy (removal from s390x already requested in a
separate archive team bug)
* rabbit, a presentation tool (Architecture: all)
* rabbiter, another Twitter client (Architecture: all)
* screenruler, an on-screen measuring tool (Architecture: all)
and I find it hard to believe that anyone is actually running those on
an IBM mainframe. So I think it could be time to remove ruby-gnome from
s390x: if #1148247 is resolved, it can come back.

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from unstable:
ruby-cairo-gobject | 4.3.4-4 | s390x
ruby-gio2 | 4.3.4-4 | s390x
ruby-glib2 | 4.3.4-4 | s390x
ruby-gnome-dev | 4.3.4-4 | s390x
ruby-gobject-introspection | 4.3.4-4 | s390x
ruby-gstreamer | 4.3.4-4 | s390x
ruby-gtk3 | 4.3.4-4 | s390x
ruby-gtk4 | 4.3.4-4 | s390x
ruby-pango | 4.3.4-4 | s390x
------------------- Reason -------------------
RoQA; depends on webkit2gtk which no longer supports big-endian
----------------------------------------------
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].
