Sadly, that one fails as well.

I had repeated unpack failures - debootstrap really doesn't like unpacking
util-linux. And software
installation eventually failed with

Jun 11 08:34:09 debootstrap: Errors were encountered while processing:
Jun 11 08:34:09 debootstrap:  vim-tiny
Jun 11 08:34:10 debootstrap: dpkg: dependency problems prevent
configuration of vim-tiny:
Jun 11 08:34:10 debootstrap:  vim-tiny depends on vim-common (=
2:9.0.2087-1); however:
Jun 11 08:34:10 debootstrap:   Versio
Jun 11 08:34:10 debootstrap: n of vim-common on system is 2:9.0.2103-1.

However, the very latest snapshot from
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/snapshots/2024-02-25/
does install successfully:

$ uname -a
Linux debian-sparc 6.8.12-sparc64-smp #1 SMP Debian 6.8.12-1 (2024-05-31)
sparc64 GNU/Linux
