This also broke tests for trompeloeil-cpp which I maintain.
This seems like a sensible solution for now. according to upstream notes catch/catch2.hpp is superseded by catch/catch2_all.hpp,
but liking against this header does not work for my package (see https://github.com/catchorg/Catch2/blob/devel/docs/migrate-v2-to-v3.md).
I'd propose to check which packages work with the newer catch and patch if necessary; if it's inevitable I'd argue to create a semver catch2 package.
