Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, we used to protest "not all the world is a VAX". Fast-forward to 2017+, and we now have the exact same bias toward Intel chipsets and clones. I suppose the bias is a bit more justified in the present day, since Apple threw in the towel a few years ago on desktop/notebook computers, and Android-compatible hardware makes up the bulk of the rest of what's likely to be owned by the typical end-user. --Bob
package updates waiting on akregator update
Following the buildd log chain, the hold-up seems to be build dependencies that cannot be installed. At the base of the list of dependencies is "qtwebengine-opensource-src" for which "alpha" is no longer an architecture listed by the maintainer(s). Here's the high-level dependency chain: "akregator" depends on source package "kf5-messagelib" which depends on source package "qtwebengine-opensource-src". I'm looking into whether "qtwebengine-opensource-src" is buildable on "alpha", but I suspect this is going to be similar to the "iceweasel" dependency on "firefox-esr", i.e., not easily fixed. --Bob

Pretty well called it :-(. One of the build dependencies for "qtwebengine-opensource-src" is a javascript optimizing compiler. I suspect it's time to abandon "akregator" on "alpha". --Bob
