Why would you think this is a bug? This is just a normal Perl-API transition, the packages need to be rebuild against the new perl to be compatible. This _is_ Unstable after all, things like this happen all the time. Just use only "apt upgrade" for a few days until the transition is over. See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=838760#10 as well. S° -- Sigmentation fault. Core dumped.
