I suspect this is a manifestation of https:/ /bugs.debian. org/cgi- bin/bugreport. cgi?bug= 826300
The bug was long ago fixed, but the nature of the bug would mean re-bootstrapping is needed, i'm not sure if there still exists a ubuntu archive for 32-bit powerpc and if-so who controls it. There certainly doesn't seem to be any mention of 32-bit powerpc on launchpad for recent releases.
If you just want to fix the problem locally, then you may be able to use the 3.0.0+dfsg-8 packages from snapshot.debian.org
