Some update. I have managed to get powerpc back to the state where the devscripts and build-essential packages can be installed. However, I had to update the chroots on the buildds manually as debbootstrap currently fails due to left-over perl-modules package. debbootstrap first downloads perl-modules-5.38_5.38.2-3_all.deb, then later tries to install perl_5.38.2-3.2_powerpc.deb which causes dpkg to bail out. It can be reproduced with: # debootstrap --no-check-gpg --arch=powerpc --variant=buildd \ --include=debian-ports-archive-keyring unstable sid-powerpc-sbuild \ http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports Thus, we need to get rid of perl-modules-5.38_5.38.2-3_all.deb from the repositories in order to be able to create fresh chroots with debbootstrap again. Since packages in Debian Ports are directly synced from the main repos for arch:all, this needs to be done by the FTP masters. For m68k and sh4, I managed to build perl and pam so that all Perl packages are rebuilding for now. Thorsten Glaser is kindly helping me with the transition on m68k. Adrian -- .''`.
