Greetings,

Please remove aevol from armhf and i386 architectures in
unstable.  It is affected by test failures after compilation, as
seen on buildds[1].  The first error message in sight suggests
that the build fails due to a calculation expecting most likely
a 64-bit range, as on 32-bit the result looks to overflow and
this is being trapped:

        […]
        68: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::out_of_range'
        68:   what():  stol
        68: Aborted
        […]

https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=aevol&arch=armhf&ver=9.3.0-1&stamp=1770712670&raw=1

Aevol is a scientific application which I don't expect to be
much used on 32-bit platforms nowadays.  I believe a removal is
going to spare more volunteer time than trying to keep the
package alive for 32-bit ports, also I don't believe that it
would inconvenience much our end users.

Have a nice day,  :)
