Source: gmsh
Version: 2.8.5+dfsg-1.1

I was unable to build this from source on amd64. It went wrong near
the end:

make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/gmsh/gmsh-2.8.5+dfsg/debian/build'
   dh_install -O--buildsystem=cmake -O--builddirectory=/tmp/gmsh/gmsh-2.8.5\+dfsg/debian/build -O--parallel
dh_install: libgmsh2 missing files (usr/lib/*/libjava-gmsh.so.*), aborting
debian/rules:12: recipe for target 'binary' failed

(There are files called "libjava-gmsh.so" but nothing with the version
suffix.)

It went wrong in exactly the same way, right at the end,
when I tried building on arm64 (for which I did
"perl -i -pe 's/ amd64 / amd64 arm64 /;' debian/control"
before running "dpkg-buildpackage -b").

So, when you've fixed this, could you try enabling arm64 on the next
version, unless there's a good reason for not building this package on
architectures other than those listed?
