In python-ptrace’s case, the package supports a limited set of architectures,
so perhaps it shouldn’t be arch:all in the first place. The current package
only supports amd64, i386, ppc and arm; version 0.9.6 adds ppc64, and the
forthcoming 0.9.8 will add arm64.

Downgrading however since it does build on amd64.

Bug#976468: This package only builds Arch:all binary packages

2020-12-05 Thread Lucas Nussbaum
Hi,

This package only builds Arch:all binary packages. Unfortunately, I
don't think that we have a way to indicate that such binary packages
must be built on a specific architecture, and thus avoid a failure on
arm64.

In those cases, building those packages on amd64 works fine, so the bug
is limited to building arch:all packages on specific architectures.

I pondered downgrading the severity of those bugs, but in some cases,
it could indicate severe bugs in other packages, or packaging bugs such
as confusing arch:any and arch:all.

However, I don't object to someone else downgrading them.
