I can't reproduce this on a trixie system here:

$ ldd /usr/lib/openssh/ssh-sk-helper
         linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007f0f87f4f000)
         libfido2.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfido2.so.1 (0x00007f0f87ea0000)
         libcrypto.so.3 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.3 (0x00007f0f87800000)
         libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f0f8760a000)
         libcbor.so.0.10 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcbor.so.0.10 (0x00007f0f87e90000)
         libudev.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1 (0x00007f0f87e4b000)
         libz.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libz.so.1 (0x00007f0f875ea000)
         /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f0f87f51000)
         libzstd.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libzstd.so.1 (0x00007f0f87520000)
         libcap.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcap.so.2 (0x00007f0f87e3d000)

Please show me the full output of ldd, without the egrep on the end?  
Note that ssh-sk-helper does not link to libcbor directly, but only via 
libfido2, so something like a libfido2 installation in /usr/local might 
cause this sort of problem.
