Hi,

igv is "Architecture: all" and simply does not install on an
architecture where the dependencies are not fulfilled.  That's not
really a bug and as Olivier has explained making it

   fake-Architecture: amd64

is probably not the best solution.  I'm also not convinced that it was a
sensible decision in the case of picard-tools but I think we should not
fiddle around with these dependencies while Buster is in freeze.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
