It is unfortunate that I neglected the package at that time and did not
look at the underlying issue. I reverted the Breaks added in the team
upload now, in any case.
The SoapySDR library and module packages are designed to be
co-installable across SONAME versions and if something prevents that it
is an issue that needs fixing. Could you tell me what the specific
issue was that prevented co-installation?
