Nothing on https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?dist=unstable;package=apt
No I have not used CPAN in ages.
I have a very small /etc/apt/sources...
deb http://debian.mirror.rafal.ca/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
deb-src http://debian.mirror.rafal.ca/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free

## deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org testing main non-free
## Other repos can be found in /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory ##
and
### sparky testing repository
### used as default by all sparky editions
#deb https://sparkylinux.org/repo/ testing main
#deb-src https://sparkylinux.org/repo/ testing main
others in source.d/ also commented out.
My guess is that it will get fixed soon.
I did not see this is 3 virtual machines, so far. ttfn
