Hi,

this likely means you should be fully upgrading to testing so the
dependencies don't mess with everything. bookworm is already in deep
freeze so there shouldn't be much surprises compared to a plain
"stable" system now.

Do you mean if it's possible to install the "testing" hamlib packages
under different names so they don't conflict with the stable ones? No,
that would be very much non-trivial. (It's doable by editing
debian/control and the rest of the world, but don't go there.)
