Glibc-headers missing on aarch64/ppc64le in alma 9?

Hey all

I’m trying to bootstrap something across several architectures, and noticed an inconsistency. For all builds of glibc-headers that I could find in repo.almalinux.org for alma 9.x, they only exist for x86_64 and s390x, but not for aarch64 or ppc64le.

In contrast to this thread, this doesn’t seem to be a sync issue AFAICT. At least, it also matches the info on pkgs.org (which only covers x86_64 and aarch64; the aarch one is present for alma 8 but missing for alma 9).

For all other packages that I’m looking at, the builds are consistently available across architectures, and this was the case as well for alma 8.x, so this looks like it was an accident maybe?

PS. Apologies if this is not the right place to raise this. I would have raised an issue under https://git.almalinux.org/rpms/glibc, but couldn’t sign up.
PPS. Needed to reduce links due to being a new user

This is expected:

So if you run dnf install glibc-headers then glibc-devel will be installed.

Thank you for the explanation!
