Package: postgresql-7.4-plruby, postgresql-7.4-pljava Severity: serious Hi!
Since PostgreSQL currently does not work on mips and mipsel due to bug #377507, I removed these architectures from postgresql-7.4, so that upgraders from sarge on mips[el] do not suddenly upgrade into a broken version; the postgresql-7.4 package will be uninstallable instead and the old version will stay around, which is much better. However, the p-7.4 version without the mipsen binaries cannot go into testing as long as there are still pacakges depending on them on mips and mipsel. Currently this is p-7.4-plruby, and soon it will be p-7.4-pljava as well (which should go into testing today). So I asked for removing the mips and mipsen binaries for these packages as well (see bug #377507), but this requires having pljava and plruby versions in unstable which do not build packages on mipsen any more. Otherwise, after removing the binaries, the buildds would immediately rebuild them. So, please change the Architecture field for these source packages from 'any' to: Architecture: alpha amd64 arm hppa i386 ia64 m68k powerpc s390 sparc and upload a new version. Then #377507 can be done, and postgresql-7.4 can go into testing; this is crucial, testing currently has 7.4.9 which has open security holes and other issues (therefore the bug severity). After this process has happened, you can revert the Architecture: change, since then your packages will just FTBFS on mipsen until the original bug (#377507) has been fixed. Thank your for your understanding, and please do not hesitate to ask me for any further questions!
