'apt install libsvtav1enc1d1' resolved the problem for me. Doing so removed blender (and rendered it uninstallable? 'apt install blender' finds no installation candidate), but I don't need blender at present.
With that package installed, 'apt dist-upgrade' upgraded only libavif15:i386 , and all was well.
