I've seen this a couple of times in the last weeks (not with biber
but some other random packages) when I tried to build with
cowbuilder.

My workaround was to change

PBUILDERSATISFYDEPENDSCMD="/usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-satisfydepends"
(/usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-satisfydepends is a symlink to
pbuilder-satisfydepends-aptitude)

to

PBUILDERSATISFYDEPENDSCMD="/usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-satisfydepends-apt"

in my pbuilderrc.

I never looked why the aptitude resolver fails but the apt resolver
works.
In any case I'm sure this is not a problem in the biber package; I
also don't think it's a problem in libencode-perl or any of the
packages depending on it.

I don't know - maybe a bug in pbuilder/cowbuilder?

Which confirms my hunch that the problem is not with biber and not
with libencode-perl.
