[DRE-maint] Bug#1099067: libruby3.3: libruby3.1t64 not removed after transition

[Paul Gevers]

Package: libruby3.3
Version: 3.3.7-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

I just ran $(apt list '~o') on my system and was surprised to see 
libruby3.1t64 to be still installed. When I tried to remove it, it 
wanted to take several things with it, including libruby3.3. I had to 
ask apt to install something that I already had and that was on the 
removal list to keep things installed. So I suspect something provided 
by libruby3.1t64 is no longer provided by libruby3.3 but apt doesn't 
realize it should install the new binaries.

I'm not sure what the best solution is here, but it would be nice if 
this would be handled automatically for users. libruby3.3 already seems 
to depend on the real packages that libruby3.1t64 used to provide, but I 
guess a version higher than the latest version of libruy3.1t64 could 
help apt to figure it out.
