#1107523 release.debian.org: Can i386-only bugs be release-critical?

Dear release team,

wine in testing/unstable is currently broken on i386, that is to say,
on i386 systems upgraded from Debian 12, wine doesn’t work. (See
#1104317 for details.) The i386 packages work fine on amd64.

Given that Debian 13 is dropping support for “standalone” i386
systems, and only officially supporting running i386 packages on amd64
systems, are such issues release-critical?

Regards,

Stephen

Hi Stephen,


Did you try reproducing it in a i386 chroot? If the issue can't be
reproduced on the supported i386 configurations, I agree with the
severity important.

For the sake of traceability, let me reference our announcement [1], and
the item in the draft version of the Release Notes [2] on this topic.
