The fix for this package would probably to stop building the webkit-dependant packages on s390x, but keep other plugins there.

As mentioned on the list I'm not sure how relevant those packages are on s390x, but Geany being an IDE I could imagine someone running it on the target architecture, even if it would only be an emulated environment.

In any case, I guess the source could be patched to disable the problematic dependencies (and assorted feature) on the architectures where it's needed.

WebKitGTK can no longer work on big-endian architectures as a result of an
upstream move from Cairo to Skia, as announced in
<https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2026/09/msg00139.html> and #1148038.
This is one of the leaf packages that will need to be removed from s390x
as a result.

No dependency problem found.
