WebKitGTK can no longer work on big-endian architectures as a result of an
upstream move from Cairo to Skia, as announced in
<https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2026/09/msg00139.html> and #1148038.

The python3-wxgtk-webview4.0 binary package from src:wxpython4.0 is no
longer built (since this week's uploads) and the obsolete binary package
from version 4.2.4+dfsg-2 now needs cleaning up.

The only reverse dependency is psychopy:
...

but its single binary package is Architecture: all, so it's OK for it to
be unbuildable on s390x.

Thanks,

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from unstable:

python3-wxgtk-webview4.0 | 4.2.4+dfsg-2 | s390x
------------------- Reason ------------------- RoQA; depends on webkit2gtk which no longer supports big-endian ---------------------------------------------- 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 Please check all open bugs and close them or re-assign them to another package if the removed package was superseded by another one.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 1148768@bugs.debian.org. The full log for this bug can be viewed at https://bugs.debian.org/1148768 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.
