Hi,

please remove libreoffice from mipsel.

- daps is Arch: all and thus gets built on amd64 (or on other archs, but
surely not on mips*), so this is a false positive.
Same for openlp and zemberek-ooo.
Also ibus-typing-booster is in the same situation regarding libreoffice-voikko
- gpredict is #983763
- msc-generator already does a libreoffice [amd64], so not affected by
this removal at all
- meta-gnome3 has yet to get a bug

Rationale:

mipsel is completely broken, long story at [1].
Upstream who added it (RedHat) confirmed no interest to do anything on
it.

Rene

This is the most important test ever. No communication and no type
really works here. Not surprisingly smoketest also fails miserably
(with and wthout Java)
https://lists.debian.org/debian-mips/2023/06/msg00032.html
and no reaction from the mips porter there in any case.

Hiding this problem like in last releases doesn't make it better and I
am not going to do that.

[ same stuff applies for mips64el ]

mips64el is not as broken as mipsel. But extensions are broken. Too bad
we *do* have various extensions in the archive.

See the extension subthread in https://lists.debian.org/debian-mips/2023/07/threads.html

As said in https://lists.debian.org/debian-mips/2023/07/msg00020.html I *could* disable the
extension mechanism and disable Java and python to get the needed packages NBS but that would
be bad, imho - where would you stop?

Rene
