Now we have two bogus bugs? And -1 even is a duplicate of the original one. What you meant would have

been clone to -1 and reassign -1..

Merging.

Hmm?

I don't know what you do in OpenQA, but you seem to do something wrong.


Yes, liborcus0.21-0 is correct, as is its dependency on libboost-iostreams1.90.0. Which is NOT missing:

$ rmadison libboost-iostreams1.90.0
libboost-iostreams1.90.0 | 1.90.0-6      | testing    | amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, loong64, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x
libboost-iostreams1.90.0 | 1.90.0-6      | unstable   | amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, loong64, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x

And it is installable.

If you don't install essential dependencies, yes. But that is neither a libreoffice nor a liborcus nor a boost1.90 problem.

Some improper dependency resolution or polluting stuff mixing distros? (Or some outdated system, but the boos1.90 transition was looong ago..)
