[Noetic] warehouse_ros_mongo fails to build on armhf

[sloretz]

Hey @tylerjw,

It looks like warehouse_ros_mongo isn't building on some platforms:

• Ubuntu Focal armhf

I'm planning to add all chronically failing packages to per-platform blacklists later this week.
That just means the buildfarm won't try to build them every day.

When all issues causing the build failures are resolved, please make a PR to the production branch on ros_buildfarm_config removing it from the package_blacklist:

• release-armhf-build.yaml

Looks like Focal armhf is missing the meta-package mongodb, which is listed as a dependency:
https://github.com/ros-planning/warehouse_ros_mongo/blob/e1615a3f5eb09638c1d4853b475aa31098371950/package.xml#L25

The only dependency of mongodb is mongodb-server, which actually exists on all supported platforms.

@sloretz, is it possible to point the mongodb dependency to mongodb-server on armhf in rosdistro's base.yaml?

Adding mongodb-server to the rosdep key seems like a reasonable workaround to me. This seems like an upstream packaging issue, so I'll open a bug upstream to see if it's possible to do an SRU to add it to armhf, and in the meantime i won't blacklist this one.
