Do you have a list of those packages?
The majority of arm64 devices are mobile/embedded, which cannot be said about amd64. Of course it is bad to break packages, but leaving arm64 users with non-working Qt graphics is also not ideal. So we are trying to find a compromise solution here. We do not have a final list yet, but packages that may get broken will likely belong to one of these two groups: - Packages that build-depend on both qtbase5-dev and libglu1-mesa-dev: cgal, flightgear, fraqtive, kalgebra, kstars, ksudoku, kubrick, paraview, simplescreenrecorder, starpu, starpu-contrib, structure-synth, vtk6, vtk7 - Packages that build-depend on libqt5opengl5-desktop-dev: bino, deepin-movie-reborn, enki-aseba, fracplanet, fraqtive, freecad, krita, libconfig-model-dpkg-perl, mldemos, mm3d, openms, qwtplot3d, shelxle, soundscaperenderer, tetzle, virtualjaguar, vite, vtk7 This is not a final list yet, but should be enough to get an estimate. -- Dmitry Shachnev
