I assume we got lucky that it built this time on ppc64el and it will
likely fail the next time we want to update the gnote packaging. The
same or similar build failure is also seen on armhf, i386 and s390x .
If it fails to build on ppc64el next time, I will likely have the
package removed from ppc64el as I'm doing with the other
architectures. Sorry, but if I don't remove it, then gnote would be
removed from Testing for every architecture. I don't have the extra
time or interest to debug this issue much further.

Thank you,
