Package: samba-common
Version: 2:4.13.5+dfsg-2
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: rincebrain at gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

Pretty simple report - since samba-common is only offered at 2:4.16.2+dfsg-1 in sid currently,
and all the binary samba packages for sparc64 are at 2:4.13.14+dfsg-1+b4, it's impossible to install
right now without either reaching into the archive snapshots or building yourself.

It would be nice if this wasn't breaking "apt upgrade".

- Rich
