Package: golang-go Version: 2:1.7~1 Severity: serious Dear Maintainer,
Filing this as promised and as previously discussed in #835360 [0]. It seems we're having problem building go packages on s390x when they end up on a certain buildd[1]. AIUI the issue boilds down to upstream go community doesn't define their support for s390 as we define the s390x port in Debian. ie. they consider certain older s390 hardware unsupported which is still part of the defined hardware set of debian s390x. See for example [2]. I'd suggest simply removing s390x binaries and all reverse dependencies of golang on s390x. Also go package maintainers should limit their Architecture: field to only include archs that is actually supportable rather than using eg. 'all' like golang-github-shirou-gopsutil does despite including parsing code which only covers linux/x86* (and other archs we don't have in Debian). Please note that I'm not really interested in being part of any discussion around this bug, so please feel free to leave me out of it! Thanks!
