I just noticed that src:libreoffice 7.x has added a build dependency on

clang

for alpha and ia64. However, clang is unfortunately no longer available

on

these targets which causes libreoffice to become BD-Uninstallable.

No.

The correct solution would be to get clang available.

(Or simply ignore those obsolete architectures)

clang isn’t required to build libreoffice [1], it’s just recommend.

Not sure why you want to enforce architectures off libreoffice when it’s technically not necessary.

Thanks,

Adrian
