Hi,
it seems there is major breakage going on - My suspicion is that
something gets severly mixed between mips and mipsel:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
perl: Depends: perl-base (= 5.6.1-7) but 5.6.1-8.2 is to be installed
E: Sorry, broken packages

Description: Larry Wall's Practical Extraction and Report Language.
An interpreted scripting language, known among some as "Unix's Swiss
Army Chainsaw".
.
Perl is optimised for scanning arbitrary text files and system
administration. It has built-in extended regular expression matching
and replacement, a data-flow mechanism to improve security with
setuid scripts and is extensible via modules that can interface to C
libraries.

Description: The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister.
A scripting language with delusions of full language-hood, Perl is used
in many system scripts and utilities.
.
This is a stripped down Perl with only essential libraries. To make
full use of Perl, you'll want to install the `perl', `perl-modules' and
optionally `perl-doc' packages which supplement this one.
