I fear this is not enough information to diagnose the problem. I'm
giving you some context to better understand what we need here.

e2fsprogs was identified as one of the packages whose ABI is affected by
time64. That analsys did not discriminate between individual shared
libraries built from e2fsprogs and hence all libraries including
libcom-err2 were bumped. It turned out that libss2 and libcom-err2
really were not affected and libss2t64 and libcom-err2t64 did not
transition to trixie. Hence, I reverted the transition for these to ease
upgrades knowing that I'd be making upgrades in unstable slightly harder
though those are difficult at best.

So we need to know which libcom-err2 and libcom-err2t64 packages are
installed for which architectures on your system. If there is any
libcom-err2t64, please "upgrade" to libcom-err2. Then retry your
original apt. I fear this is going to be manual in unstable as there is
no sane way to make apt understand that we really don't need
libco-err2t64. I expect that upgrades from bookworm and trixie are
unaffected by this issue. Unless this expectation is wrong, I suggest
that we close this bug as wontfix.
