Conflicts with libiio-dev and libad9361 Debian packages #923
Description
This is hopefully just a trivial packaging problem, but I have run into an issue where, after installing Ubuntu-22.04_latest_master_libiio.deb (which provides the package libiio at version 0.24.ga08ad5f), I am blocked from installing libiio-dev through normal channels. I am fairly certain an identical problem exists with libad9361-0 as well, had it not been installed already.
This is problematic because libiio-dev is a dependency of several projects, SDR++ among them. So a lot of users are going to want to install that.
Is there an easy workaround to update libiio from Github to the latest but still have libiio-dev installed? Or a way to install a matching version of libiio-dev from Github that will match the libiio .deb package version?
For reference, here is what my system shows for sudo apt search libiio:
$ sudo apt search libiio

And if I try to install libiio-dev from the Jammy repo, for instance because I want to run SDR++, I get this (entirely reasonable) error message:
$ sudo apt install libiio-dev

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libad9361-0 : Depends: libiio0 but it is not going to be installed
libiio-dev : Depends: libiio0 (= 0.23-2) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
Does libiio-dev come from this Git repository? Or is there someone else who packages it?
