Hello,

All emboss executables segfault on s390x since bullseye. Segfault is
evident when calling any of emboss executables without CLI arguments or
only with '--help'. Checking with GDB on sid for 'gdb seqret' says:

(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/bin/seqret
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
Using host libthread_db library "/lib/s390x-linux-gnu/libthread_db.so.1".

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
cvt_s (code=<optimized out>, ap=0x3ffffff99c0, put=0x3fff77b79b8
<fmtAppend>, cl=0x3ffffff9e70, flags=0x3ffffff99c8, width=-2147483648,
precision=-2147483648) at ajfmt.c:352
352        if(str)

GDB localises the issue for seqret in a string formatting function.

Hi Andrius,

I'd recommend following the procedure you supposed in
https://lists.debian.org/debian-med/2024/04/msg00034.html

Someone needs to file removal requests for s390x for the
rdepends from emboss, thought.

Kind regards
   Andreas.

Hi Andreas,

Thanks, this is what I am going to do next.

Best wishes,
Andrius
