Bug#917199: pivy, unbuildable on mips* due to testsuite failures in patchelf.

[peter green]

Package: pivy
Version: 0.6.4-1
Severity: serious

pivy cannot be built on mips/mipsel because of a depedency on pyside2 which is not built on mips/mipsel pyside2 is not being built on those architectures due to a dependency on patchelf. patchelf is not currently building on mips* due to a testsuite failure.

mips64el also looks like it will become a problem going forward as patchelf is not currently available there (but was at the time pyside2 was last built).

Possible solutions (in roughly descending order of preference):

1. Fix the patchelf testsuite failures.
2. Break the dependency chain (only possible if the functionality in question is optional, I have not researched that).
3. Request removal of the mips* binaries for pivy and reverse dependencies of pivy (if-any).
