Bug#948092: RM: htslib, delly, fastqtl, kallisto, libtabixpp, qtltools, rsem, samtools, segemehl, shapeit4, stringtie, stacks [s390x] -- ROM; upstream htslib broke s390x and is holding up several transitions

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Dear ftp.debian.org people,

htslib FTBFS on big-endian systems
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=947462 and this is
blocking the following transitions: auto-htslib, python2-rm, python3.8,
and auto-pbbam

I propose we delete the affected s390x packages for now and when/if
upstream has fixed their code for big endian systems then we can upload
the fixed versions later.

Thanks in advance
