This fixes some failures but triggers some new ones:

Error: 
 Problem: package dropbear-dev-2022.82-r0.mips64 requires dropbear = 2022.82-r0, but none of the providers can be installed
  - package dropbear-2022.82-r0.mips64 conflicts with openssh provided by openssh-9.0p1-r0.mips64
  - package openssh-9.0p1-r0.mips64 conflicts with dropbear provided by dropbear-2022.82-r0.mips64
  - package openssh-dev-9.0p1-r0.mips64 requires openssh = 9.0p1-r0, but none of the providers can be installed
  - conflicting requests
