Thanks for pointing that out. I have to see what my co-maintainer had in
mind when adding this.

I already did an upload before filing this bug, so it's now showing as
BD-Uninstallable on i386.

Thanks and regards

There never was a package by that name.  The only variants are sse2-support
[any-i386] sse3-support [any-i386 any-amd64] sse4.2-support [any-i386
any-amd64] and stuff for architectures you're not interested in.

I really doubt you're looking for sse1 in particular -- I expect your
package uses a newer variant; a package of this kind doesn't really care
about CPUs so old anyway, thus the distinction doesn't matter.

(Note that marking packages that use a non-base CPU extension this way is
controversial -- but no one implemented a better solution yet.)


As for this RM, it won't work as your package still tries to build on i386,
which will reintroduce nanopolish:i386 as soon as ftpmasters remove it.
Thus, you'd need to upload a new version first.


Meow!
