Sure, Perl is 5.18 in the repo, but not all necessary packages have been rebuilt for 5.18: > http://packages.debian.org/sid/liblocale-gettext-perl >From that page: dep: perl-base (>= 5.14.2-3) [sparc64] dep: perl-base (>= 5.18.1-2) [nicht sparc64, …] dep: perlapi-5.14.2 [sparc64, …] virtuelles Paket, bereitgestellt durch perl-base dep: perlapi-5.18.1 [nicht sparc64, …] virtuelles Paket, bereitgestellt durch perl-base So it clearly states that liblocale-gettext-perl on sparc64 is out of date with regards to the Perl. > http://packages.debian.org/sid/libtext-charwidth-perl > http://packages.debian.org/sid/libtext-iconv-perl Same issue here. So who can schedule BinNMUs for sparc64? Because that's what would help.

I just thought it may help to install Stable and then dist-upgrade to unstable to workaround this issue.
