libfuse3-dev is a virtual package?
So this is weird. I can't install libfuse3-dev on my buster system:
# apt install libfuse3-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package libfuse3-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'libfuse3-dev' has no installation candidate
Apt seems to think it is a virtual package:
# apt show libfuse3-dev
Package: libfuse3-dev
State: not a real package (virtual)
N: Can't select candidate version from package libfuse3-dev as it has no candidate
N: There is 1 additional record. Please use the '-a' switch to see it
N: No packages found
# apt show -a libfuse3-dev

Description: Filesystem in Userspace (development) (3.x version)
Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE) is a simple interface for userspace programs to
export a virtual filesystem to the Linux kernel. It also aims to provide a
secure method for non privileged users to create and mount their own filesystem
implementations.
.
This package contains the development files.
But as near as I can tell, it's a real package:
https://packages.debian.org/buster/libfuse3-dev
Help?
