This doesn't block as the package was never built on ppc64el, so the FTBFS isn't a regression (weird consequence of the arch:all to arch:any move). So I was mostly referring to this.

Oops, right.

and breaks the autopkgtests of inetsim,

Which is "just" new output to stderr, so easy to fix (I don't think the test is very clever (it's also marked superficial, so I don't suspect this output isn't a blocking regression for inetsim).

Ah, ok.

it can't migrate anyway? Ah, maybe that was the last part of your question -- that/if britney should just block migration as per its criteria as usual. Yes, I think this will do …

So, once inetsim autopkgtest isn't blocking, should it migrate despite not available anymore on ppc64el in your opinion?

Thanks for your patience in explaining this all!



So, yes, I finally see it: please block it for now.





Cheers,
gregor

As I haven't closed #1142815 in the upload (and plan to do so right now as long as we see other issues) … ah -- that's not a blocker either as it already effects older versions. (And I hope smeone else will come along and "just fix" this package :)) `-
