Someone needs to file removal requests for s390x for the
rdepends from emboss, thought.


Thanks, this is what I am going to do next.

Hi Andrius,

I'd recommend following the procedure you supposed in
   https://lists.debian.org/debian-med/2024/04/msg00034.html

Someone needs to file removal requests for s390x for the
rdepends from emboss, thought.

Kind regards
   Andreas.

Bug#1069098: emboss: all executables segfault on s390x

Package: emboss
Version: 6.6.0+dfsg-9
Severity: important

Hello,

All emboss executables segfault on s390x since bullseye. Segfault is 
evident when calling any of emboss executables without CLI arguments or 
only with '--help'. Checking with GDB on sid for 'gdb seqret' says:


(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/bin/seqret
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
Using host libthread_db library "/lib/s390x-linux-gnu/libthread_db.so.1".

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
cvt_s (code=, ap=0x3ff99c0, put=0x3fff77b79b8 
, cl=0x3ff9e70, flags=0x3ff99c8, width=-2147483648, 
precision=-2147483648) at ajfmt.c:352

352if(str)

GDB localises the issue for seqret in a string formatting function.
