I have checked the s390 specific dependency problems in the second list and
found that there are mainly 6 categories of problems.
1) Packages that depend on xserver
Since s390 does not provide any xserver at all, this could never be
resolved. I have written bug reports to exclude s390 partly or completely
from thai-system, vnc, giftrans, login.app, python-gnome, vnc-java and
xfree86.
Should I also write a bug report to drop thai-system, giftrans, login.app
and vnc-java for s390 from the archives?
tkvnc is also related to this problem.
2) Packages with broken dependencies due to binary NMUs
I will make another NMU to fix ted, but don't know how to fix emacs-el and
uprecords-cgi.
3) Dependency on fakeroot which is not yet in woody for some architectures
dh-make-perl, equivs, jablicator, kernellab, sbuild
4) Dependency on iproute which is not yet in woody for some architectures
freenet6, ipmenu, shaper
5) Dependency on kaffe which is not yet in woody for some architectures
devel-protocols, jlex, jython, makeme, ttthreeparser
6) Dependency on isdnutils which doesn't build on s390
ibod, isdnbutton
I will write bug reports to exclude s390.
I have also fixed the libdv-dev dependency problem by a NMU.
