cannot install git because of a dependency issue

[Paul Dufresne]

apt-get source xserver-xorg told me:
Please use:
git clone https://salsa.debian.org/xorg-team/debian/xorg
to retrieve the latest (possibly unreleased) updates to the package.

But:
root@debian:~# apt install git
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
git : Depends: git-man (< 1:2.35.1-.) but 1:2.36.0-1 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
root@debian:~#

I should open a bug report for this?
,,, held broken packages
root@debian:~# dpkg --configure -a
root@debian:~# dpkg --get-selections | grep hold
root@debian:~#

not sure what do do of that
git-man would be the man page of git I think... might not be essential... but I feel I don`t understand really what is happening.

The actual bug is that the testsuite fails.

>From times to times I hand-build a package without the testsuite, but at
some point somebody has to take the time to fix the actual bug.
