mips64el, ppc64el, and s390x. The reason there is no build on those<br>
architectures is because one of the build dependencies<br>
(qtwebengine5-dev) cannot be installed on those archictures.<br>
<br>
Looking at the debian/control file for qtwebengine-opensource-src (the<br>
source package), this is how qtwebengine5-dev is declared:<br>
<br>
Package: qtwebengine5-dev<br>
Architecture: amd64 arm64 armhf i386 mipsel<br>
<br>
So, the solution would be to update bibletime so that instead of<br>
"Architecture: any", it matches the architecture list of<br>
qtwebengine5-dev.<br>
<br>
That said, bibletime-data is "Architecture: all" and I am not sure if<br>
changing the list of valid architectures for bibletime should result in<br>
a change to bibletime-data. Otherwise you might end up with<br>
bibletime-data on architectures for which bibletime itself is not<br>
available. That is, unless the archive software does not include<br>
"Architecture: all" packages in architectures for which no binary<br>
packages are produced from a given source package.<br>
<br>
That is probably something to ask on debian-devel before moving forward.<br>
