Hi Helmut, Thanks for filing this issue. Olm 3 was released today, which has new Python bindings, and which will make python-olm arch-dependent. I'll take a look at this issue when I create a new package, but having just skimmed this briefly, suggestion are welcome on how having python-olm being arch-dependent will affect this issue.
