[Bug 2088006] Re: Remove NBS 32-bit postgresql extension packages, part 4

[Adrien Nader]

I had a look at the packages.

I addressed pgl-ddl-deploy and pglogical-ticker in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pgrouting/+bug/2089236/comments/8
.

I checked the reverse runtime and build dependencies of all other
packages.

- pgsphere has a reverse depend from gavodachs2-server which is arch all

- pgq has a reverse depend from pgq-node which is arch all

- postgis has reverse build depends: djangorestframework-gis geoalchemy2 h3-pg osm2pgrouting pgrouting tinyows.
  - djangorestframework-gis is arch all
  - geoalchemy2 is arch all
  - h3-pg was removed in part 1 of this series
  - osm2pgrouting was last uploaded in Debian on 2022-12-01 and has binaries on armhf
  - pgrouting is in this series
  - tinyows: build-depends on postgis and I'm not sure why it's only a Recommends at runtime (maybe because you could make it use a server that isn't local?)

The Description of tinyows contains the following:

    From a technical point of view WFS-T is a Web Service API in front
    of a spatial database. TinyOWS is deeply tied to PostgreSQL/PostGIS
    because of this.

The package is in multiverse and has no reverse (runtime or build) dependency. While it sounds possible to use tinyows on armhf with a postgresql server on another machine, it doesn't sound like an actual scenario.
I'm not entirely sure what happened in debian: I guess that since tinyows only has a runtime Recommends on postgis, nothing got blocked but now the package can't be built from source anymore.
Considering all the above, I think we can do the same, remove postgis, and see in the coming weeks or months if we should add a delta in tinyows to restrict it from 32-bit arches.
