Andreas,
This looks like an error:

Bug #1037439 {Done: Dirk Eddelbuettel <e...@debian.org>} [r-cran-rstan]
r-cran-rstan/armhf FTBFS with r-cran-bh 1.74, works with boost 1.81
Bug reassigned from package 'r-cran-rstan' to 'src:r-base'.
No longer marked as found in versions r-cran-rstan/2.21.8-1 and r-cran-bh.
r-base-core cannot possibly be the cause. What we have here is that
- R packages can use (C++ upstream library) Boost (from boost.org)
- (ie not be confused with a CRAN package called boost)
- I happen to be upstream for CRAN package BH
- Which I update annually in December, so CRAN is now at 1.81
- Because BH is big we once decided to _not_ double it up in Debian
- So we have r-cran-bh essentially as a virtual package depending on
libboost-all-dev
In June, we put a hard version constraint into r-cran-bh to enfore 1.81 or
later:
r-cran-bh (1.81.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium
* debian/control: Update Build-Depends to libboost1.81-dev to ensure use
of Boost 1.81 (needed eg by rstan) which is not yet the default Boost
in Debian, but available. Note to re-set this to libboost-dev once it
is default. Thanks to Steve Langasek for the idea. (Closes: #1037439)
* debian/control: Set Build-Depends: to current R version
* debian/control: Set Standards-Version: to current version
* debian/control: Switch to virtual debhelper-compat (= 12)

Steve may have suggsted that at the time for Ubuntu build issues. So is this
now in Debian unstable/testing? IIRC there was a migration.
Thanks for any pointer, Dirk
