Welcome to the Perl 5.26 transition!
This situation is normal and expected during perl transitions. The
rebuilds are being made and the dependency will be fixed in a few
days. See https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2017/07/msg00003.html
If you are running unstable, it is a good idea to subscribe to
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/ and/or
https://wiki.debian.org/TopicDebianDevel .
Cheers,
gregor
