Hi, FYI I upgraded linux-libc-dev 6.1.115-1 -> 6.1.119-1 base-files 13.5 -> 13.6 libnss-systemd 256.7-3 -> 257~rc3-1 libpam-systemd 256.7-3 -> 257~rc3-1 libsystemd-shared 256.7-3 -> 257~rc3-1 libsystemd0 256.7-3 -> 257~rc3-1 linux-image-powerpc64le-64k 6.10.11-1~bpo12+1 -> 6.11.5-1~bpo12+1 systemd 256.7-3 -> 257~rc3-1 systemd-timesyncd 256.7-3 -> 257~rc3-1
and a bunch of "does not look involved in boot / system startup" stuff (firefox, LibreOffice, samba, rdiff, ghostscript, ...), ... and my Raptor Blackbird didn't boot anymore. Startup stuff (I mean systemd-managed services) would scroll by, the console screen (on the builtin AST 2500) would go grey, startup stuff scrolls by, grey screen, loop (very fast, several times per second). The machine would __not__ respond to SSH connections. Also not in "recovery mode" (not sure what that does nowadays??), I booted into a Debian install media in rescue mode, chrooted into my install, and force-downgraded userspace everything (but not the kernel) to bookworm / bookworm-backports. The machine now boots fine. (The downgrade was a bit adventurous, some libs (foo.so.N files) were missing although the package was installed because the libfooNt64 package "Replaces: libfooN" and thus the file was deleted when libfooNt64 got uninstalled; solved by forcing a (second) reinstall of libfooN), but in the end, it works now. I don't have enough detail that I can file a bug report, but if you run ppc64el, beware.
