Package: upgrade-reports
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Many packages, including chromium, thunderbird, firefox-esr, are not able to
upgrade due to dependent on libevent-2.1-6 while Debian testing has upgraded
libevent to libevent-2.1-7.

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

Debian testing has upgraded to libevent-2.1-7 but packages of chromium,
thunderbird, firefox-esr are still depending on libevent-2.1-6

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Just apt update; apt upgrade
In my /etc/source.list I have testing repository and buster/update/main.
Newest version of the above packages were from buster/update/main.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

Unable to upgrade.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

The above packages should be rebuilt depending on libevent-2.1-7
