Following the trail of broken builds back to the origin, it seems that
it all steps from not being able to build boltdb on riscv64. Upstream,
boltdb was forked (now lives at https://github.com/etcd-io/bbolt), and
this would involve package renaming and import path changes.
However, looking at the changelogs for bbolt, I suspect that we could
make the existing boltdb package support riscv64 simply by
cherry-picking this as a patch for now:
https://github.com/etcd-io/bbolt/pull/159/files
That should then unblock bug #1004303 and ultimately allow consul to
build on riscv64 (bug #1010306).
Why you think this thread is about the FTBFS on riscv64? It won't render consul rc-buggy.
Consul is to be removed because no one takes time to maintain it and it has open security bug for a long time.
