I acknownledge that I should've communicated /coordinated my if-addrs 
update better.
This doesn't change the fact that if-addrs was *already* uninstallable:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

Unsatisfied dependencies:
 librust-if-watch-dev : Depends: librust-if-addrs-0.10+default-dev but it is not installable
                        Depends: librust-netlink-packet-route-0.17-dev but it is not installable
                        Depends: librust-rtnetlink-0.13+smol-socket-dev but it is not installable
                        Depends: librust-rtnetlink-0.13+tokio-socket-dev but it is not installable
Error: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


The upload of the netlink packages on the 20th of February broke 
if-watch long before I uploaded if-addrs. This is unfortunate. If 
if-watch would have had an RC bug this'd caught my attention and 
reconsider the upload.
I verified that if-watch itself does build and test find against the 
newer if-addrs, thus reassigning, since the RC issue is primarly caused 
by netlink (and, arguably, worsened by my upload. Sorry.)

I can provide a patch to remedy my mess, but rnetlink is beyond me.
