Re: unable to install (upgrade) git - git-man dependency

In particular, it's kconfig that blocks subversion which blocks git.
You can fetch git-man from snapshot.debian.org in the meantime.
I did a dist-upgrade today and run into this problem again. I wonder
why git gets uninstalled? if there is a dependency issue, I'd expect
git-man to be retained or otherwisebe alerted.
Instead all procedes and I end without git.
Then:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
git : Depends: git-man (< 1:2.39.1-.) but 1:2.39.2-1 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
which is comparable to the situation I had last time, but will all
versions upgraded, by one. Like git trailing behind git-man
The fix is easy, I just get
http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20230126T092209Z/pool/main/g/git/git-man_2.39.1-0.1_all.deb
dpkg -i it, that will downgraede git-man and allow git installation.
