My bad, I packaged the new versions of fido2 and yubikey-manager, and didn't
think to test yubioath-desktop (as I do not use or maintain it).

Upstream is aware of the issue, and will publish a fixed version:

Thanks for reporting this issue, and bearing with the inconvenience as we fix
this. You should be able to work around the issue by installing the older
versions of the packages and pinning them like so:

	# /etc/apt/preferences.d/yubioath-desktop
	# Workaround for #981804, delete when fixed
	Package: python3-ykman python3-yubikey-manager yubikey-manager
	Pin: version 3.*
	Pin-Priority: 999
	
	Package: python3-fido2
	Pin: version 0.8.*
	Pin-Priority: 999

In advance, thanks for your patience while we fix this.


Best,

  nicoo
