an old version for aarch64 was lying around in disabled 
Multimedia/kodi/aarch64

I did "osc wipebinaries --build-disabled" in MM/kodi and now this

This change would have only increased the load on my poor lonely 
configured-for-8GB-Worker, so I did not want to make it ;-)
(kodi is configured for more RAM and disk than kodi-noX-raspberry-pi, so 
it can only build on the one "big" ARM worker, which is a real waste of 
resources. Actually the only reason for having the 8GB worker at all is 
that some users have kodi on aarch64 enabled in their home repos and 
thus the "pending packages" count will never go to zero, confusing my 
power-on-of-boot-shutdown-automation for the aarch64 workers :-)

The cleanup of the disabled binaries, you could have made on your own, 
though :-P

Let's see if this helped, once the current rebuild wave is finished.
