Control: tag -1 + src:soapysdr
Please unblock package soapysdr
[ Reason ]
The libsoapysdr0.7 (bullseye) and libsoapysdr0.8 (bookworm) library
stacks are not co-installable due to a package conflict deep in their
dependency tree. This is sometimes hard for apt to figure out and it
may prefer to keep some obsolete packages installed and hold some
upgradable packages at the bullseye version. This can be hinted into the
right direction (removing the whole obsolete tree, and installing all
the fancy new stuff) by adding some Breaks between the roots of the
dependency trees. The explicit Breaks at the root (which has usually a
sufficiently high score) easily propagates the removal through the whole
tree.
[ Impact ]
incomplete upgrades in some cases
[ Tests ]
Local piuparts bullseye -> bookworm tests using the fixed packages,
testing all upgrade paths that had libsoapysdr0.7 (transitively)
installed in bookworm.
[ Risks ]
the Breaks targets only packages not in bookworm
and that need to get removed on upgrades from bullseye
[ Checklist ]
[x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in testing
