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.
