as I wrote, a bell rung in my head... and I reported this issue years 
ago on sparc!

I suppose this is the open issue:
https://bugs-devel.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=933402


http://snapshot.debian.org/package/git/1%3A2.50.1-0.1/

If it happens to others:
wget 
http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20250731T022852Z/pool/main/g/git/git-man_2.50.1-0.1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i git-man_2.50.1-0.1_all.deb

  sudo apt-get install git

That worked!
