Both packages went in.
However python-pysam is a problem because the arch:all rdeps have arch:any
rdeps, and those are now broken on i386.
force breaks:
* i386: falconkit, kineticstools, pbalign, pbbarcode, pbgenomicconsensus,
pbh5tools, pbhoney, pbjelly, pbsuite, python-kineticstools, python-pbalign,
python-pbbanana, python-pbcore, python-pbgenomicconsensus, python-pbh5tools,
python-pbsuite-utils
One solution would be to remove the i386 binaries for those as well (which is
what would have normally happened when you requested the removal of the pysam
i386 binaries). The other option is to fix python-pysam on i386 (i.e. fix
bcftools). Obviously the latter would be preferable...
Can you look at that?
Thanks,
Emilio
