The problem here is due to this in debian/control in the source package:
Package: libwxsqlite3-3.0-dev
Depends: ${misc:Depends}, libwxsqlite3-3.2-dev
Architecture: all
Priority: optional
Section: oldlibs
Description: transitional package
This is a transitional package. It can safely be removed.
Package: libwxsqlite3-3.2-dev
Architecture: any
Multi-Arch: same
Section: libdevel
Depends:
libsqlite3-dev,
libwxgtk3.2-dev,
libwxsqlite3-3.2-0 (= ${binary:Version}),
${misc:Depends}
Recommends:
pkg-config
Suggests:
wxsqlite3-doc
Breaks: libwxsqlite3-3.0-dev
Replaces: libwxsqlite3-3.0-dev
Description: Development files for wxSQLite3
wxSQLite3 is a C++ wrapper around the public domain SQLite 3.x database
and is specifically designed for use in programs based on the wxWidgets
3.0 library.
.
This package contains the development files for wxSQLite3.
It isn't useful to have a transitional package for libwxsqlite3-3.0-dev
which pulls in libwxsqlite3-3.2-dev - anything which BDs on
libwxsqlite3-3.0-dev will need a source-ful upload to bump it's
wxwidgets build dependencies (typically libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev to
libwxgtk3.2-dev).
A package which B-Ds on libwxsqlite3-3.0-dev and libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev
but pulls in libwxsqlite3-3.2-dev and libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev won't build
(or at least not correctly).
(We've also resolved the only such package in Debian already, but this
may be relevant for downstream distros such as Ubuntu if they have
packages we don't.)
Also, it's not helpful for libwxsqlite3-3.2-dev to break and replace
libwxsqlite3-3.0-dev unless libwxsqlite3-3.2-dev and the
libwxsqlite3-3.0-dev currently in testing genuinely aren't
co-installable. The lists of installed files don't overlap at least:
https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/amd64/libwxsqlite3-3.0-dev/filelist
https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/libwxsqlite3-3.2-dev/filelist
So I think the solution here is to drop the "Package:
libwxsqlite3-3.0-dev" paragraph entirely and drop these from
libwxsqlite3-3.2-dev:
Breaks: libwxsqlite3-3.0-dev
Replaces: libwxsqlite3-3.0-dev
Happy to NMU a fix for this.
Cheers,
Olly
