Looking at the PTS[0]:

"""
This package is part of the ongoing testing transition known as apt.
"""

So this /temporary/ uninstallability is expected, while libept is
rebuilt against the new version of apt.  Please see [1] for a list of
affected packages.

For transitions, wait till the relevant packages have been rebuilt.  In
other cases, the package may be broken or an uncoordinated transition
may have started.  In the latter case, please contact the release team.
