Looks like owned by root but access by frank ?
Will chown work ?
Your hostname is "fedora"? Um. Skipping that for now....
Yes, chown would work, although chgrp would be the more "natural" pick.
Either chown 0:0 / or chgrp 0 /
While you're poking around in there, the permissions are also different
from what one would normally expect on Debian. chmod 755 /
Then again, if this isn't actually a Debian host, the 555 permissions
on the root directory might be normal.
Good grief!
This comment stirred my memory and I realized I had rebooted into Fedora
34 AFTER I had updated Debian Bullseye.

Nevertheless, I am still pullzed by those errors.
Back in Debian is redid the debug suggestions.

(sorry about the wrapping)
frank@franklin:~$ ls -ld /
drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 4096 Jul 21 10:14 /
So "/" is owned by root with proper permissions!
What now ??
Sorry folks.
