[Debian-astro-maintainers] Bug#976912: coyote: FTBFS on ppc64el (arch:all-only src pkg): Magick: abort due to signal 6 (SIGABRT) "Abort"...

Source: coyote
Version: 2019.08.19-1
Severity: serious
Justification: FTBFS on ppc64el

Hi,

During a rebuild of all packages in sid, your package failed to build
on ppc64el. At the same time, it did not fail on amd64.

I'm marking this bug as severity:serious since your package has only
Architecture:all binary packages, and should thus, in theory, build
everywhere. Failure to build on ppc64el might indicate a serious issue
in this package or in another package.

But feel free to downgrade or close if you believe that this is only a
build-time issue. (I would personnally prefer a severity:minor bug just to
track that the package can only be built on specific architectures.)

Relevant part (hopefully):
