Please remove all binaries associated with the source package zmat from unstable for i386 and armhf architectures, since it build-depends on libblosc2-dev. According to the upstream authors, c-blosc2 3.x no longer supports 32-bit architectures. [1]

I am hereby forcemerging this bug report with #1144289, which was filed against the zmat source package.

Best,

Rafael Laboissière

------------------- Reason ------------------- ROM; Build-dependency libblosc2-dev to be removed from unstable ---------------------------------------------- Note that the package(s) have simply been removed from the tag database and may (or may not) still be in the pool; this is not a bug. The package(s) will be physically removed automatically when no suite references them (and in the case of source, when no binary references it). Please also remember that the changes have been done on the master archive and will not propagate to any mirrors until the next dinstall run at the earliest. Packages are usually not removed from testing by hand. Testing tracks unstable and will automatically remove packages which were removed from unstable when removing them from testing causes no dependency problems. The release team can force a removal from testing if it is really needed, please contact them if this should be the case. Bugs which have been reported against this package are not automatically removed from the Bug Tracking System. Please check all open bugs and close them or re-assign them to another package if the removed package was superseded by another one. The version of this package that was in Debian prior to this removal can still be found using https://snapshot.debian.org/. Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed. If you have further comments please address them to 1144683@bugs.debian.org. The full log for this bug can be viewed at https://bugs.debian.org/1144683 This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing ftpmaster@ftp-master.debian.org.
