I see, thanks for the explanation. I actually wondered why nobody else
seemed to have hit that block, as I assumed that "libcbor0" was removed
before "openssh-*" actually depended on it through "libfido2-1" due to
its age. But checking the changelog of "libcbor0.8" ([1]), the
replacement happened just last month, so its understandable that I only
ran into this, because I didn't upgrade my installation for two years or
so prior to my recent upgrade.

Well, I seem to have a talent to run into these issues. :-)
