Justification: rc policy: packages must be buildable in the same release.
libjogl2-java can no longer be built on 32-bit architectures, specifically
armhf and i386
(it is already not built on armel of mipsel) because swt4-gtk no longer
supports 32-bit
architectures.
Potential soloutions would be.
1. Fix swt-gtk4 so it builds on 32-bit architectures again (probably not very
practical given that upstream have abandoned support)
2. Modify libjogl2-java so it can build without swt (no idea how possible this
would be).
3. As a last resort, remove libjogl2-java from 32-bit architectures. It seems
that there are two reverse dependencies that
would be affected by this, scilab and king.
Apologies I didn't notice there were already things happening or I wouldn't
have filed this bug so quickly. It seems
that libjogl2-jni has already been removed from unstable on the affected
architectures. The binaries are however still
in testing. As far as I can tell for them to be removed from testing a couple
of things need to happen.
Firstly https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=972432 needs to be
actioned by the ftpmasters.
Secondly I believe that the removals from testing of libjogl2-jni and the
arch-specific scilab binaries on i386 will
need manual intervention from the release team as it will make arch all
packages uninstallable.
