bummer.
New version of gramps in Trixie upgrade.
Insisted on upgrading database advising to create backup without means.
the latter would be an upstream bug.
Most likely, but a Debian upgrade which takes the system into a state
which requires a database upgrade while removing the ability to make a
backup may justify a Debian News entry so users can back out of the
software upgrade and perform the backup.
Upgraded and loaded database.
Spat error, lost new record.
could you get into detail with the last bit?
- when was the new record created?
- how was it lost?
On completing the database migration I created a new person, added birth
and death information including a new death location and notes, and
clicked OK.
This resulted in the python error referred to in the headline which left
the new person with the OK button greyed out and no way to save it. The
record was lost.
This information appears to have been lost in submitting the report:

Just after version upgrade and DB conversion.
Being unable to backup a database after upgrading Gramps and before converting
the database is highly problematic.
