Hi again,

At the time of writing (2020-08-19 16:00 UTC), it seems
that hurd-i386, powerpc and ppc64 are uninstallable from
'unstable' but would be with option : --extra-suites=unreleased

* hurd-i386 : 

base package bsdmainutils(12.1.7) has a missing dependency : 
 bsdextrautils (>= 2.35.2-7) 
and bsdextrautils(2.35.2-7+hurd.1) is in 'unreleased'

required package libgnutls30(3.6.14-2+b1) has a missing dependency :
 libp11-kit0 (>= 0.23.18.1)
and libp11-kit0(0.23.18.1-2+hurd.2)

(actually, I am unsure of the installability of rsyslog)

* powerpc and ppc64 :

base package powerpc-utils(1.3.7-1) has a missing dependency :
 pmac-utils
and pmac-utils(1.1.3-27+ports) is in unreleased

I hope it will help !
