When running apt upgrade I get this upgrade related to phpmyadmin:

dpkg-maintscript-helper: error: file '/usr/share/phpmyadmin/js/vendor/codemirror/addon/hint' not owned by package 'phpmyadmin:all'
dpkg-maintscript-helper: error: file '/usr/share/phpmyadmin/js/vendor/codemirror/addon/hint/sql-hint.js' not owned by package 'phpmyadmin:all'

Looks like to me that an old version of phpmyadmin is registered somewhere. How can I get rid of this?

Running a Debian Bullseye server with PHP 7.4.28.

Got the upgrade working by doing the following:

apt purge --remove phpmyadmin

and

 apt install phpmyadmin -y

Specify whether you want to connect to an existing SQL instance by specifying the password for the DB user, or whether you want to create a new instance.
