Bug#970245: gnome-core: gnome-core/s390x has unsatisfiable dependency

[Sebastian Ramacher]

Package: gnome-core
Version: 1:3.30+3
Severity: serious

The last uploaded added the dependency on gdm3 back:

   * d/control.in: Remove special-case fallbacks for s390x
     gjs, gdm and gnome-shell are now available on s390x (although whether
     they have been successfully run there is anyone's guess), so we can pull
     in the full GNOME desktop on all release architectures again.

While the source package gdm3 built successfully on s390x, it does not
build the gdm3 binary there (even though it declares gdm to be available
on linux-any). From its debian/rules:

dh_options =
just_the_library = no
ifneq (,$(filter $(DEB_HOST_ARCH_CPU),s390x))
	dh_options += -Ngdm3
	just_the_library = yes
endif

Also verified on zelenka:

% dd-schroot-cmd -c sramacher-gnome apt-get install gnome-core
