Hi,

promod3 is arch:all, but it depends on arch:any packages which build on
amd64 only. Is it necessary to limit the architecture list for promod3?
I am reluctant to do so as there will be the need to manually update the
list every time a new architecture becomes supported by its arch:any
dependencies.

Hi Andrius

Why does openstructure build for amd64 only?

Looking in one of the failed build logs, I see:

./modules/mol/base/tests/test_ics.cc(216):
error: in "mol_base/ics_settorsion_linear_unbuffered":
difference{4} between s.t2.GetAngle(){-2.3561945} and
Real(3.14159265358979323846/4){0.785398185} exceeds 0.0001%

0.7854 is 45 degrees, and -2.3562 is -135 degrees (45 - 180).
Are both answers correct?  You could skip the failing test, or compare
the tangent of both values.

You could make promod3 arch:any instead of arch:all, but instead of
trying to maintain a list of architectures, simply add python3-ost as
a Build-Dependency (even if it is not really needed).  This will
ensure that promod3 is only built on architectures where python3-ost
is available.

For trixie, could you just hint promod3 back into testing?

The britney dependency check for binary-all packages is only done on
amd64 and arm64 exactly for the reason that it is quite normal that
binary-all packages are not installable on all architectures.

If the release team wants all such packages in the archive converted
from binary-all to binary-any that's doable, but it's a bit late for
an MBF of RC bugs for trixie.

Thanks

No, we don't. But the sensibility of an arch: all package that is only
installable on amd64 is beyond me.

Anyway, I will hint it back into testing.
