Indeed. Many changes in gnuradio 3.8 - Python3 instead of Python2, blocks defined in yaml with .yml files instead of .xml files. This will happen with most gr-* packages. binnmu is not enough. Lucky for us, there are two people updating gr-osmosdr, https://github.com/mvaenskae/gr-osmosdr https://github.com/igorauad/gr-osmosdr and I will upload new Debian source package soon. (I am awaiting for some dependencies to get through NEW processing, due to the API/ABI bumps.) I hope I can get the various gr-* packages and gqrx-sdr back working again in Debian testing in time for the gnuradio conference, GRCon, next month. For Debian Bullseye, the gnuradio 3.7.x.x are scheduled to be removed because of the end of Python 2 support. So - 3.8 and progress! Thank you for your interest in gnuradio and Debian, -Maitland
