Bug#707833: package linux-image-3.8-1-sparc64-smp not found

It was previously in experimental, and you cannot expect any continuity of service in experimental. There is always snapshot.debian.org, anyway.

Further research shows that the missing package is due to a failed build, as indicated in the log summary: Architecture: sparc Build-Space: 2354436 Build-Time: 57001 Distribution: sid Fail-Stage: build Install-Time: 148 Job: linux_3.8.11-1 Package: linux Package-Time: 57531 Source-Version: 3.8.11-1 Space: 2354436 Status: attempted Version: 3.8.11-1 Finished at 20130507-0033 Build needed 15:58:51, 2354436k disc space https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=linuxarch=sparcver=3.8.11-1stamp=1367886856 It seems a new version build just completed successfully today: Architecture: sparc Build-Space: 2463108 Build-Time: 16378 Distribution: sid Install-Time: 123 Job: linux_3.8.12-1 Package: linux Package-Time: 16653 Source-Version: 3.8.12-1 Space: 2463108 Status: successful Version: 3.8.12-1 Finished at 20130514-1023 Build needed 04:37:33, 2463108k disc space Signature with key 'B3666332' requested: https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=linuxarch=sparcver=3.8.12-1stamp=1368527113 I presume it's just a matter of time before the package shows up in the sid repo.
