I wasn't talking about Debian sparc and I was not aware you were
since you mentioned "sparc64".

Can you please upgrade to sparc64? There is virtually no development taking
place on sparc 32-bit anymore and we need more people testing things. You
are also missing out on a lot of new and updated packages. There has been
tons of work and there is even more coming up like golang which will enables
Docker, Kubernetes and all that jazz. Installation is also possible from
"sparc" using debootstrap/multistrap [1].

Please stop running Debian sparc. It's also lacking security updates.
