Weekly live images from 2024-11-04 not built

[Roland Clobus <rclobus@rclobus.nl>]

Hello list,

the weekly live images from 2024-11-04 have not been built.
They bail out due to the following error message:

-- Start quote --
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 firmware-realtek : Conflicts: firmware-realtek-rtl8723cs-bt but 
20181104-4 is to be installed
-- End quote --

This is a known issue, which was worked around specifically for sid in 
live-build in [1] and [2].
The cause for this error are 2 packages providing the same firmware 
file, which was reported and resolved in #1084791. However, live-build 
locates all possible (and applicable) firmware and installs it in a 
single invocation, which fails, despite the Conflicts+Replaces.

# apt-get install firmware-realtek firmware-realtek-rtl8723cs-bt

The desired state is that #1085075 (a RM request for the now obsoleted 
package firmware-realtek-rtl7823cs-bt) is processed, after which there 
is no double provider.

Please suggest a suitable solution strategy.

Should I at least extend the workaround in live-build for trixie/testing 
or can somehow #1085075 be handled quicker?

With kind regards,
Roland Clobus
