Hi,
libgsl25 from bullseye and libgsl27 from bookworm are not co-installable
due to their strict dependency on libgslcblas0. Sometimes apt has
problems handling this transitive conflict correctly (i.e. removing the
obsolete library) and instead tries to keep the obsolete package
installed and hold some upgradable packages at their bullseye versions.
Turning the transitive conflict into an explicit one helps apt making
the right choice.
Please consider applying the attached patch.
Andreas

Subject: [PATCH] libgsl27: Add Breaks: libgsl25 for smoother upgrades from
bullseye
libgsl27 and libgsl25 are not co-installable due to their strict
dependency on libgslcblas0. Let's make the transitive conflict explicit
to help apt making the right choice, i.e. remove the obsolete library.
