I don't think it will be anytime soon.

I'm sorry about that. In this case, I think you should ask on the upstream ticket (or see if the discussion between the upstream developers there already answers your question). > >> If we /really/ want to, we could make a different package for pysam's >> bcftools interface.

I think you can expect for this bug not to be resolved soon, so I see that it is either the pysam source-package copy or the removal of rdeps on i386. regards Afif -- Afif Elghraoui | عفيف الغراوي http://afif.ghraoui.name
