    i   roundcube      Depends roundcube-core (= 1.6.1+dfsg-1)
    i A roundcube-core Depends php                            
    i A php            Depends php8.2   
    
    I don't use roundcube any more. Would it help to uninstall it?
    Although, at the moment I have only php5.6 and php8.2 installed. I'm
    guessing the bookworm upgrade removed php7.x.
