Hi,
while libuhd3.15.0 from bullseye and libuhd4.3.0 from bookworm are
co-installable (by keeping libboost-regex1.74.0 at the bullseye version
which provides the virtual libboost-regex1.74.0-icu67), this causes apt
on several bullseye->bookworm upgrade paths to keep the obsolete
libboost-regex1.74.0-icu67 installed by not upgrading some upgradable
packages.
If we instead add a Breaks against the obsolete libuhd3.15.0, this will
help apt making the right choice: removing libuhd3.15.0 (and a bunch of
other obsolete libraries depending on it), making
libboost-regex1.74.0-icu67 less used and easier to be replaced with
libboost-regex1.74.0-icu72 (by simply upgrading libboost-regex1.74.0).
Please consider applying the attached patch.
Andreas
