Hello,

thanks for trying ppc64 again.

This problem should be fixed now. The lastest version of perl was 
missing because of a build problem in the latest version db4.4.

I just uploaded the latest perl version 5.8.8-2 to the ppc64 archive.

So it should now be possible to 

apt-get update; apt-get upgrade; apt-get install dpkg-dev

in the ppc64 chroot environment.
