Package: perl-base
Version: 5.30.2-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
- apt update && apt full-upgrade
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
- apt upgrade instead of full-upgrade, keeping perl-base unupgraded
* What was the outcome of this action?
- perl-base is marked as "keeped" and is not upgraded
* What outcome did you expect instead?
- perl-base should upgrade without uninstalling a large set of packages
like apache2, build-essential, or debhelper.
* Full logs :
```

Hi, this seems to have been temporary uninstallability in unstable.
The arch:all packages got built half a day later than arch:amd64,
leading to version skew.
Things should be fine again now, or at least once mirrors have updated.
In general, 'apt full-upgrade' probably isn't a good choice when
tracking unstable. Temporary uninstallability is quite common during
transitions and the like.
I'm closing this, but let us know if the problem persists.
