Sorry about this situation, but these things *do* happen from time to 
time. There's a large number of transitions going on right now, and 
slicer depends on several of the affected packages. That delays migration.

Unfortunately, we also had to deal with fallout from some of updated 
dependencies recently (catch2 and wxwidgets come to mind), which blocked 
automigration and caused autoremoval from trixie in December.

If you look at the package tracker[1], you can (somewhat) see what's 
going on.

There's also the issue that libbgcode (a dependency of slicer) is broken 
on all big-endian architectures, which still seems to unsolved. This 
blocks automigration, because s390x is a big-endian release architecture.

There might still be something fishy going here.
@hyperair Do you think the situation will resolve itself, or do we need 
to exclude s390x from the Architectures in slic3r-prusa/debian/control ?

Regards,
Gregor
