Checking the repo, its always good to see it's there. http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports/pool-sparc64/main/s/sparc-util s/sparc-utils-udeb_1.9-5+sparc64_sparc64.udeb But if i am well, you are only able to download & install udeb's within the Debian installer environment. Because thats what udeb's are for.
