The Release Team considers packages that are out-of-sync between testing and unstable for more than 30 days as having a Release Critical bug in testing [1]. Your package src:mesa has been trying to migrate for 31 days [2].
Hence, I am filing this bug. The version in unstable build depends on binaries from llvm-toolchain-17, which haven't been built on mips64el yet (reported in bug 1056116).

Adding mips64el porting team to Cc for visibility.

Mesa could probably work around this by disabling the LLVM parts on
mips64el (removing mips64 from LLVM_ARCHS in d/rules and from various
lists of LLVM-capable architectures in d/control).

The cost would be that most mips64el users would have to use slow
fallback software rendering, because disabling LLVM support would
disable llvmpipe (which it seems doesn't actually work properly
on mips* in any case) but also the AMD driver (which is what
graphical MIPS users rely on in practice, according to discussion on https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/71).

That's a high cost for mips64el users, but the alternative seems to be
letting mips64el hold back all of our other architectures, and I don't
think that's really viable.

Thanks,
