On the one that's not getting updates:

[strange /etc/apt #1939] apt policy openvpn
openvpn:
  Installed: 2.6.3-1+deb12u2
  Candidate: 2.6.3-1+deb12u2
  Version table:
     2.6.7-1 250

On the one that is getting updates:

[top /etc/apt #1211] apt policy openvpn
openvpn:
  Installed: 2.6.3-1+deb12u1
  Candidate: 2.6.3-1+deb12u2
  Version table:

         10 http://mirrors.linode.com/debian unstable/main amd64 Packages

 *** 2.6.3-1+deb12u1 100
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

on the one that isn't getting updates:

[strange /etc/apt #1940] apt list --upgradable
Listing... Done
ca-certificates-java/stable 20230710~deb12u1 all [upgradable from: 20230620~deb12u1]
linux-image-amd64/stable-updates 6.1.67-1 amd64 [upgradable from: 6.1.55-1]

note that even though the candidate is openvpn 2.6.3-1+deb12u2, it
won't be installed.  Why?  What's blocking it?
