Matrix synapse has been failing to start for a while.

The dependencies of matrix-synapse, according to aptitude say:

Suggests: python3-authlib (>= 0.15.1)

However this seems like a dependency, not just a suggestion.

The installed python3-authlib is 1.6.0-1+deb13u1, but aptitude says:

Versions of python3-authlib (2)
i	1.6.0-1+deb13u1
p	1.7.2-1

but the latter version seems not available.  No amount of attemps to install
it succeed.

What should I do about this?  Why is 1.7.2-1 listed but apparently not
available? How to make it available?

Thanks.
