Package: wireplumber
Version: 0.4.13-1
While examining the output of journalctl -b, I found the message “Can't find
org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop. Is xdg-desktop-portal running?” first bold and
then yellow:

The boot log contains no prior mentioning of xdg-desktop-portal, but the
package xdg-desktop-portal itself is installed in version 1.16.0-2. Either the
error message is bogus, or something is really not found thought it should be
there. In any case, the situation should be repaired. I use an up-to-date
Debian stable “bookworm”.
Gratefully,
