A sid user ought to be able to read these errors and figure out how to
deal with the situation.

The FIRST thing you should do is file a bug report, so that the bug can
be fixed in Debian.  Sid users should also be extremely familiar with
filing bug reports.  That's why you're running sid in the first place,
y'know?  So you can help Debian fix bugs.

Second, since the offending file is in an OLDER version of the
codeblocks-headers package, one which will presumably be updated with
a sid version, it should be obvious which package you want to remove,
temporarily.
