Dear Maintainer,

The package has a ftbfs issue on riscv64 due to unsupported arch.
The full buildd log is here:

https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=efitools&arch=riscv64&ver=1.9.2-2&stamp=1655250102&raw=0

Although it is ok to build on my locally machines with patch attached,
but I'm not sure now if he works properly on riscv64 hardware.
The lintian gives hints also:

```
E: efitools: binary-from-other-architecture usr/bin/cert-to-efi-hash-list
E: efitools: binary-from-other-architecture usr/bin/cert-to-efi-sig-list

E: efitools-dbgsym: binary-from-other-architecture usr/lib/debug/.dwz/riscv64-linux-gnu/efitools.debug

```
Please consider to apply it if you think this patch makes sense:)

Thank you,

Bo

This is a bug of lintian, it's pending, see:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1012090

Control: severity -1 wishlist

Please don't raise severity on packages asking for support for a
non-release architecture.

Hi,

在 2022/6/15 23:21, Steve McIntyre 写道:
as riscv is a non-release architecture, so downgrade these FTBFS bugs to Severity: important,

Is this suitable?

There is one email in debian-riscv maillist had talk about it:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-riscv/2022/06/msg00008.html

There's a difference between "FTBFS on this ports architecture" (but
previously built OK) and "has never built on this ports architecture".

I'm not saying I'm going to look at the bug report and patch here, but
please don't inflate severity.

We believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of
efitools, which is due to be installed in the Debian FTP archive.

A summary of the changes between this version and the previous one is

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
