It was in the previous message:

    https://packages.debian.org/sid/libmpfr4
    https://packages.debian.org/sid/libmpfr6

Agreed, I hadn't noticed this little "4" in there.  I have no idea what
it means.  I was only looking at (and talking about) the Debian
version numbers and the "4" and "6" of "libmpfr4" and "libmpfr6".
