[Freedombox-discuss] Matrix-synapse fails to start, requires python3-authlib that's not available.

Hi,

I'm not an expert in either FBX or Debian, but I would like to point out a couple of things...

matrix-synapse version 1.152.1 is from testing and unstable

The version of python3-authlib that you have installed, 1.6.0-1+deb13u1, is from stable

Version 1.7.2-1 is from testing and unstable. So, you appear to running a mix of stable and unstable or testing.

I'm not sure how you may have ended up in this situation nor what you need to do to resolve it.

What do "cat /etc/debian_version" and "lsb_release -a" report? What is in your apt sources?
