I hope this change

   https://salsa.debian.org/r-pkg-team/r-cran-sf/-/commit/0134ec6c5ef2b1145e17766e4ba7c8f29ccfa2e3

fixes the situation.

I'll observe debci and will implement the same for r-cran-stars if it works.
Otherwise I'd consider removing r-cran-sf (-stars) for s390x.

Thanks a lot for spotting the issue

     Andreas.
