Currently, moarvm and nqp packages have a bug on arm that can't be
reproduced. This bug triggers a random crash and can trip build on
nqp, rakudo and all raku modules.

The short term solution is to disable build on all arm arches until
this bug is sorted out. This means that trixie will be released
without raku on ARM. Hopefully, we will be able to enable again builds
on arm later on.

moarvm was removed from testing and unstable on arm*. Now all raku
modules must also be removed from arm architectures.

All the best

Is there a BTS entry for this bug? Is it known upstream? Where can we
find out more about it?

Thanks,
Emanuele

No.

Is it known upstream?

Yes, by Timo Paulssen who is also the maintainer of all raku packages for Debian. I act as sponsor.

find out more about it?

Timo should be able to answer.

All the best

I am not really sure why you request the removal of an arch:all package from

a specific architecture.

I admit I'm quite confused about the removal from specific arch process.

Anyway, I logged this bug because https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/raku-zef page mentions:

excuses:
Migration status for raku-zef (0.13.8-1 to 0.13.8-2): BLOCKED: Rejected/ violates migration policy/introduces a regression
Issues preventing migration:
∙ ∙ removing raku-zef/0.13.8-1/arm64 from testing makes raku/6.d.7/arm64
uninstallable

The last line makes me believe that it was necessary to remove raku from arm arch even if it's an arch all package.

So closing this bug again ...

Sorry about the mess...

All the best
