In my experience, it’s of unheard of for Sid to break from time to
time. I’d imagine updating in a day or a few might fix it.

Dear Debian ~
Please forgive my neglecting to use the correct format for a bug
report, but ~ let me explain.
I am a 60 year old home Linux tinkerer, a Linux geek. I run Mint +
Mate as my host and virtualbox, with a dozen guests. One guest is
Debian sid.
I just ran sudo apt update; sudo apt full-upgrade and got a black
screen.
I tried booting into fallback / recovery, and I got told the
X-server had not started.
Tried the old kernel, same deal.
Small frustration ~ re-install.
Chose the aarnet.edu.au <http://aarnet.edu.au/> mirror (I am in
Brisbane) and booted, login as root, adduser mike sudo.
Edit sources. Change the two lines that mention bullseye to read sid
- delete everything else.
Reboot.
Black screen.
Try the fallback - black screen.
Try the recovery, ask for startx - same msg.
I THINK your problem lays with the latest revision of the Xserver.
If you would like a screenshot of the output in the tty when X
wouldn't start, I have a screenshot I can send you. Reply to this
email.
I hope you find this helpful. Mike

I run SID as standard.
I usually update daily with aptitude which overlays apt.
I have no problems.
Unless I was doing an upgrade from testing to Sid, I wouldn't use
`full-upgrade' on the cli, but `safe-upgrade'.
HTH.
Cheers!
