[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#958538: python-cobra build-dependencies unsatisfiable on mipsel

[peter green]

Source: python-cobra
Version: 0.14.2-2
Severity: serious

(this issue affects both 0.14.2-2 from testing and 0.18.0-1 from unstable)

python-cobra's build-dependencies are not satisfiable in testing/unstable on mipsel, it build-depends on python3-sbml5 and libsbml5 which are built by the libsbml source package. libsbml has dropped support for mipsel due to linker memory exhaustion issues.

Since one of the dependencies is marked as <!nocheck> and since there are no corresponding binary dependencies I presume that these are only needed for the testsuite. If so then I suspect the least-bad option is not to run the testsuite on mipsel.
