Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal Hi! Please remove memkind (libmemkind-dev, libmemkind-progs, libmemkind0) on s390x. There's no use for that package there, and we also can't test it.
On Debian, s390 kernels are built without CONFIG_NUMA, which is required for the package to work (during tests/at runtime). We perhaps could leave the package as a courtesy for Ubuntu who define CONFIG_NUMA=y, but after asking around, I see there's no NUMA exposed to Linux on s390 hardware. There's also no hardware (or at least, support in any kernels) for other kinds of memory memkind can use: pmem, HBW. There's also no effort towards supporting any of these, as far as I can tell -- in stark contrast to IBM folks doing a lot of stuff for ppc64el. As the package is already not available on some archs (!32-bit), it has no value as a stub that compiles but performs no useful function.
