Hi Tobias, I agree that the situation is far from optimal, but this is the wrong package to report this issue to. Rather, packages that depend on nlohmann-json3-dev should try when possible (that is without breaking shared libraries ABI) try to migrate to the new upstream version nlohmann-json3.12-dev which fix a number of bugs. See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1060164 for why we needed a new package name. Cheers, Bill.
