How, _exactly_, did you perform that downgrade? In effect, it sounds like what you have now is a mix of Bookworm and Trixie. (More generally, a mix of Stable and Testing.) That is an unsupported and not-recommended configuration which can lead to any number of issues. https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian#Don.27t_make_a_FrankenDebian Your best bet _might_ be to upgrade back to Testing, and then roll forward with that and either see if there's a fix, or submit a bug report to the package maintainers through the Debian bug tracker. In the specific case of the current situation, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the time_t 64-bit (see those "t64" in the package list?) transition is causing problems for you, but there's no way to tell for sure based on your post because you don't include any logs, nor any package version numbers or other identifying details, nor any details on your configuration. Running `ldd` on the problematic binary and showing the output of that might also prove instructive. -- Michael Kjörling 🔗 https://michael.kjorling.se “Remember when, on the Internet, nobody cared that you were a dog?”
