Hello!

Please consider if we can make a ppc64el specific binaries removal to
get badger (and more importantly its reverse dependency caddy) back into
testing.

The binary packages build by badger are:
 * badger
 * golang-github-dgraph-io-badger-dev

Badger is affected by (currently RC) bug #1078496
which is a ppc64el specific (spurious) test failure.
It has also been reproduced and reported upstream:
https://github.com/dgraph-io/badger/issues/2079
Apparently the interest in looking into this is close to non-existant.
I assume the actual bug has existed forever and was just not caught
by the tests until recently.

I personally don't have ppc64el specific knowledge and/or time/interest
to invest in adressing this. The alternative would be to disable tests
(on ppc64el), which I find would be a worse solution than not providing
the binary packages on this arch until someone shows interest.

Please advice if I also need to file separate ppc64el removal
bugs for:
 * garagemq (direct rdep)
 * caddy (indirect rdep)

I assume these arch:all are not affected:
 * golang-github-smallstep-nosql
 * golang-github-smallstep-certificates

Regards,
Andreas Henriksson
