Title:
  python3-apt_2.7.7ubuntu2 uninstallable on armhf

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in python-apt package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in apt source package in Noble:
  Triaged
Status in python-apt source package in Noble:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  The python-apt 2.7.7ubuntu2 update has a versioned dependency on
  libapt-pkg6.0t64 (>= 2.8.1) (on armhf only). Presumably there's an
  armhf-only symbols difference resulting in the armhf package (and
  *only* the armhf package - none of i386, amd64, ppc64el, s390x, or
  riscv64 are affected) picking up this tighter dependency.

  The version of apt which could satisfy this is still in -proposed:
  ```
   apt | 2.7.14build2    | noble           | source, amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x
   apt | 2.8.2           | noble-proposed  | source, amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x
  ```
