I didn't investigate if upgrade cruft was implicated because if what works for you is a hack (that will later break) then: 1. Sid/unstable and testing/trixie have an old copy of node-jquery (3.6.1+dfsg+~3.5.14-1) and need to be updated, because Debian packages are supposed to unvendor bundled copies and use ones that have security support, so node-jquery needs to be updated. 2. Gerbera needs to be fixed to use bootstrap 5.2.3 Alternatively, if what works for you is in fact a workaround, without negative side-effects, then it won't later break, because Gerbera doesn't require these specific versions of these javascript libraries. If that's the case then Gerbera should probably be patched to use whatever version of jquery and bootstrap that Debian provides; in this case, Debian's gerbera package shouldn't be updated each time either jquery or bootstrap change. If you care about this package then I'd encourage you to Contact Debian Mentors about getting your fix into the package. This bug might even qualify for an NMU if it truly totally breaks the UI, and if you didn't want to become the new maintainer. Regards, Nicholas
