Hi Leslie,

is there a specific reason why you want to install version 12.4.1 from unstable (SID) instead of version 11.3.0 from Bookworm, given that you are using Bookworm? Since Bookworm uses qpdf version 11.3.x, the corresponding SO library is an older version — specifically version 29, i.e., package libqpdf29.

You could try: apt --dry-run install qpdf/bookworm libqpdf29/bookworm

Cheers Slávek

Probably because I found a package I wanted only in sid. Mostly the reason is ignorance on my part. I've been looking through the Debian documentation, but picking out the information I need to fully understand the repository architecture.
