libwinpr2-2t64 is not in debian trixie.
We had libwinpr2-2 in bookworm, and we did t64 transition during
bookworm->trixie upgrade, which didn't touch freerdp2 - it was
freerdp3 already.
Why Trixie ?
libwinpr2-2t64 is a Debian package
Ok, this makes sense. I don't see recent versions of freerdp2 in
d/changelog since freerdp3 were split off freerdp2 during trixie
development cycle, and development continued in parallel, and
meanwhile freerdp2 undergoed the t64 transition, and later has
been removed.

there's no freerdp2 in trixie. There's no libwinpr2-2t64 in oldstable,
oldstable had libwinpr2-2 only - for which I'm adding a Replaces.

I don't use Ubuntu
so yeah, my thought about ubuntu was wrong: this package has been
present for some time during trixie development cycle, between the
t64 transition and removal of freerdp2 from trixie. It's not from
ubuntu but from debian sid/testing. It has never been a part of any
debian release.

Sure. Please read what I wrote. I especially noted libwinpr2-2t64
variant, the t64 suffix, - this is what prompted me to think about
ubuntu. t64 had happened after bookworm, for trixie, there were no
libwinpr2-2t64 in oldstable, only libwinpr2-2 (without the t64 suffix).
I'm fixing that by replacing both variants of libwinpr2-2, just in case
someone installed a mix of stable and testing packages, but it it is
still a bug of a low severity, since the user clearly did something that
is not recommended.
It would be interesting to know how you ended up having libwinpr2-2t64
(with the t64 suffix) on an oldstable system.
