The pytables package page at https://packages.debian.org/unstable/python3-tables-lib says that python3-tables-lib is only available on 64-bit arches. But there is nothing in debian/control or debian/rules blocking build on 32-bit arches. blosc2 support is not available, but the package otherwise builds. The armhf and i386 build logs say that python3-tables-lib was indeed built, https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=pytables&arch=armhf&ver=3.11.1-2&stamp=1783293134&raw=0 https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=pytables&arch=i386&ver=3.11.1-2&stamp=1783293086&raw=0 Where is python3-tables-lib for armhf and i386? The missing package is causing dask debci tests to fail on armhf and i386, https://ci.debian.net/packages/d/dask/unstable/armhf/74030674/ https://ci.debian.net/packages/d/dask/unstable/i386/73945666/
Hi! It looks like the python3-tables-lib armhf and i386 binaries were intentionally removed in #1142140 [1]. As Drew pointed out, there is nothing that prevents them from building, and as can be seen in the recent binNMU of pytables, they came straight back: $ rmadison -u debian python3-tables-lib python3-tables-lib | 3.11.1-2+b1 | unstable | amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, loong64, ppc64el Regards Graham [1] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1142140
