Bug#948466: openssh: Please omit openssh-tests on Ubuntu/i386
Package: openssh
Version: 1:8.1p1-2
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
User: ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu focal ubuntu-patch
Dear maintainers,
In Ubuntu, we are in the process (as you may know) of moving the i386
architecture to a compatibility-only layer on amd64. We are keeping openssh
on i386 because it's a necessary part of a base system for builders, but the
openssh-tests package built from this source has dependencies on other
packages that are not being kept as part of the compatibility library set
(python3-twisted).
I would like to drop this binary package rather than keeping it around in
the Ubuntu archive and uninstallable. Would you please consider applying
the attached patch, or something like it, to omit building theis binary
package on Ubuntu?
(With or without the openssh-tests package in the archive on i386, the
openssh autopkgtests will not pass on i386 due to the missing dependencies.)
Thanks for considering,
