Dear Maintainer,

It was just a temporary misalignment during packages updates.

Now it works.

Please close/delete this bug report.

Thank you, Sorry

That was my thinking too. Do not be sorry about this bug - it was worth
keeping track of.

A lot of transitions went in to making it work. Took a while, but I am
glad to hear you have it working.

(It had originally passed the high bar of "It worked for me when I tried
it before uploading to Debian unstable".)

Soon I will update my "testing" machine, and try out gqrx there
myself. If that goes well, then I will close this bug.

Thanks for your interest in gqrx, and in making the future Trixie
release a quality platform for SDR applications.

Could the problem be avoided if some package relation is added to
gqrx-sdr?  I assume similar partial upgrades with version misalignment
will happen when people upgrade oldstable to stable in the next
release cycle.

Which version of packages were involved?
