Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
Control: affects -1 src:knot-resolver libkres9 libkres-dev

NOTE: this is just a request for removal of the libkres9 and libkres-dev
binary packages on arm64.  please do *not* remove the knot-resolver
source package, or the knot-resolver binary package on any architecture!
I believe the libkres9 and libkres-dev packages on other architectures
will be automatically removed because of the successful build of
src:knot-resolver on those platforms.

As noted in #923970, even though the libkres9 itself can function on its
own, libkres-dev isn't functional for building anything, and nothing
builds against libkres-dev besides knot-resolver itself, so
src:knot-resolver (as of 3.2.1-2) drops both of these binary packages
and ships the shared object directly in the knot-resolver binary
package.

As noted in a previous RM bug (#908755), the knot-resolver binary fails
on arm64 because of a bad interaction between that platform and the
package's use of the embedded LUA interpreter.

So src:knot-resolver has nothing to ship on the arm64 platform, which is
why these two binary packages need to be removed on that platform.

Thanks for your work on debian!

Regards,

        --dkg
