This kind of error usually indicates that 3.12 is already
installed. Prossibly a previous install brought in the 3.12 version as
a pre-requirement. If that is so, a command like:
$ sudo apt autoremove
Should uninstall all dangling installed prereq. Id those prereq are
being kept due to some other package requiring them, or some remaining
from previous Qgis install it can take a bit more effort to fix.
Try to remove directly each of those dependencies.
