Subject: [PATCH] test: cross-build linux-riscv from resolute, noble
 known-broken
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The e2e pulled linux-riscv from questing, which went EOL in July
2026 and has since been removed from the mirrors entirely — not even
old-releases carries a Release file for it, so the chroot bootstrap
cannot resolve the series and the e2e can no longer run.

Point it at resolute (26.04), the current LTS: linux-riscv is
packaged there like in every supported series, and an LTS stays
pullable for years where an interim series turns the test stale
within months.

Keep a noble fixture next to it, also not run by default: noble-era
controls declare their build tools unqualified (the :native idiom
landed in later series), so exact dpkg semantics demand
host-architecture instances of them (python3:riscv64, gcc-13:riscv64,
...), and the two-architecture install set is unsolvable — t64
libraries conflict with their own foreign-arch variant, and the
riscv64 toolchain instances drag depends chains that do not resolve
from the chroot sources.
