[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

[Availability]

The package editorconfig-core build for the architectures it is designed to work on (all Ubuntu architectures except i386 which isn't needed)
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/editorconfig-core

[Rationale]
The package libeditorconfig0 is required in Ubuntu main for gnome-text-editor 43.

It is required in Ubuntu main no later than August 25 because that's
Feature Freeze for Ubuntu 22.10. It's a desktop team goal to ship GNOME
43 as completely as possible for Ubuntu 22.10.

it makes the build fail, link to build log
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/editorconfig-core/0.12.5-2ubuntu2

- The package runs an autopkgtest, and is currently passing on all
architectures except i386 (where it's not built)

core/-/blob/master/debian/tests/upstream-tests
