Well, it looks like a normal bullseye list, and the log that you sent me mentions only bullseye packages, though it indeed shows that your system had many ungradeable bullseye packages (314). The log then shows apt-transport-https being installed, presumably so that it can download AgentDVR. Having extracted the files from the download, it asks about upgrading /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libva.so.2.1000.0 It then upgrades three packages, installs 84 more, leaving 311 still upgradeable. They all come from bullseye. I think it then downloads and builds stuff from git. It seems to say that this all ends up in /usr/local/lib/. This section is all over my head, particularly when it talks about using libtool or setting -LLIBDIR etc. So no, bookworm is not involved. I assume that the packages you listed before, and I commented on, are some of the 311 still upgradeable packages, but never having run a machine so behind in upgrades, I'm not used to seeing output like that. If I find the time, I'll try to check one or two. Do you still have the libraries it installed in /usr/local/lib/? (The /opt/… stuff is less important.) Can you tell whether any of them are still being used. Being unlearned in this area. my methodology would be crude: after a period of time (like tomorrow morning), I'd read the directories with ls -ult, then attempt and fail to play a video, then repeat the listings to see whether the access times had changed. (And even this will probably not work on a laptop.) If you wanted to post the logs, I think the area of interest is likely to be after "All build dependencies are installed." but eliminating the interminable lines starting with "checking ". That may show others what you need to do to get programs to link with the correct versions of libraries. As I said, that stuff is all above my paygrade. If and when you get the (bullseye) system restored, you might want to get it up-to-date, even if you don't intend to advance to bookworm. Cheers, David.
