    Hello,

    I'm trying to update Debian SID for m68k in QEMU.

    After a successful "apt-get update", "apt-get dist-upgrade" fails here:

    $ apt-get dist-upgrade

    Does anyone know whether there is a workaround for the above error?

    Yes, Adrian provided a workaround last year: https://lists.debian.org/debian-68k/2020/04/msg00032.html
