That seems to me to be a good way to go.  Besides, does "hard freeze"
have any meaning for a non-release architecture anyway?  All our updates
are from "unstable", "experimental", and "unreleased" as it is.

Nice work.  Going to be interesting to see what the explanation is for
the section offset difference.

Thanks for doing that.  If there is no action on that by the
maintainer in the near future, which is likely to be the case since
Debian is in hard freeze, I could upload a rebuilt libkf5purpose-bin
with the nodejs dependency removed to debian-ports unreleased.

In the meantime I have found the source of the bug in the binutils
package (but not the fix) and have reported that upstream:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21181

Cheers
Michael.

Done.  See Debian bug #855486.  "alpha" and "hppa" specifically
mentioned.

I'll take care of this...  Requested closure of #855259 with probable
status of "won't fix" due to the magnitude of the work required to port
"nodejs".  Agreed that removing the inappropriate dependency on "nodejs"
by "libkf5purpose-bin" is the way to go.
