File a bug report. If libguestfs requires "febootstrap-supermin-helper >= 3.3"
but "supermin-helper" obsoletes that one, either libguestfs needs an update
or supermin-helper needs to provide the stuff it takes away.

Also look in updates-testing whether there are fixes for this already.

    (supermin upgrade breaks dependency for libguestfs)
