Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal Control: affects -1 knot-resolver NOTE: this is just a request for removal of the knot-resolver binary package on arm64. please do *not* remove the source package or any of the other binary packages!
the knot-resolver binary fails on arm64 because of a bad interaction between that platform and the package's use of the embedded LUA interpreter. See this bug report in debian: https://bugs.debian.org/907729 and its associated upstream report: https://gitlab.labs.nic.cz/knot/knot-resolver/issues/216 note that libkres8 *does* work on arm64 -- please don't remove it! The debian version 3.0.0-3 of knot-resolver is currently in unstable for arm64, but it doesn't work -- it made it into debian because it wasn't adequately tested -- more recent versions of the package do better testing. Version 3.0.0-9 of the package doesn't build a knot-resolver binary at all. So version 3.0.0-3 should be removed, so that the rest of the package is capable of migrating into testing. I've talked this over with upstream, and they're OK with debian dropping the (non-functional) knot-resolver binary package on the arm64 platform -- see the upstream link for more details and discussion. Thanks for your work on debian! Regards, --dkg
