Bug#935417: gnuradio: depends on conflicting libvolk1-bin and libvolk2-bin (via libvolk2.0)
Source: gnuradio
Version: 3.8.0.0-2+b1
Severity: important
User: devel@kali.org
Usertags: origin-kali
TLDR: gnuradio depends on libvolk1-bin but unstable has volk version 2
and the last bin-nmu built gnuradio against the new version resulting
in Depends: libvolk1-bin, ..., libvolk2.0. But libvolk2.0 recommends
libvolk2-bin which breaks libvolk1-bin.
In theory, the package is still installable (by breaking the Recommends in
libvolk2.0) and that's why it migrated to testing but somehow apt doesn't
accept to to that.
Some Kali automated tests are failing due to gnuradio failing to install:

With some debug info it gives this:

However it works with --no-install-recommends:
> # apt install gnuradio --no-install-recommends

Note that you should also update gnuradio-dev to depend on libvolk2-dev
instead of libvolk1-dev.
