Ok, though it was still you that chose to go for option 3 which means
you have to change the Arch-line every time a new supported arch is known...
Changing the synaptics related packages is not going to happen as s390
has no support for it...
So you can either still go for option 3 or change to option 4 now by
changing it to Arch:any. As the binaries are already removed and it
won't be built on s390 anymore anyway, this might be the best thing to do...
Cheers
Luk
