Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
I have a little problem with s390x port of package rancid. Old
Version 2.3.6-1 of s390x package went into the archive while the
current 2.3.8-1 does not longer build because of a dependency problem
with inetutils-ping (see Adams attached mail).
If you could remove rancid 2.3.6-1 s390x from the archive, the
dependency problem should be solved so wen can live without rancid on
s390x until the dependency chain is fixed.
As rancid is a router support tool, that I wouldn't expect to run on a
S390, I think Adams suggestion would be the best way to solve the
rancid dependeny problem.
Thanks
Roland

It's being blocked because the out-of-date s390x binaries make dak
reject the britney import due to the multiple arch:all packages
breaking the version constraints, which means we can no longer update
testing. According to my notes, the s390x binaries are not getting
updated because they're waiting for inetutils-ping to build, which is
waiting for shishi, which in turn FTBFS (#670316).
I'm not personally happy to unblock it knowing that things will break
again, although I realise that this isn't your fault. If the package
isn't likely to be used on s390x, it might be worth asking ftp-master
to remove the old out-of-date binaries on that architecture, which
should allow the remaining architectures to migrate.
Regards,
Adam
