Dear Maintainer,

Looks like my system offers an upgrade for prusa-slicer, which is being kept
back. The current/old version doesn't seem to appear available at all and the
only one offered is from sid.
That isn't reasonably installable either as it seems to replace or remove half
the system.

So, it looks like prusa-slicer is not availble and that effectively means
trixie can not do 3d printing. Which has worked so far and works as long as I
keep the old package that I luckily have on one machine.

This seems like a situation that should never happen IMO.

Hi XTL,
time. There's a large number of transitions going on right now, and
slicer depends on several of the affected packages. That delays migration.

Unfortunately, we also had to deal with fallout from some of updated
dependencies recently (catch2 and wxwidgets come to mind), which blocked
automigration and caused autoremoval from trixie in December.

If you look at the package tracker[1], you can (somewhat) see what's
going on.

There's also the issue that libbgcode (a dependency of slicer) is broken
on all big-endian architectures, which still seems to unsolved. This
blocks automigration, because s390x is a big-endian release architecture.
Related bug: [2]
There might still be something fishy going here.
@hyperair Do you think the situation will resolve itself, or do we need
to exclude s390x from the Architectures in slic3r-prusa/debian/control ?

Regards,
Gregor
