Thanks for the update! In the section about corrupted data you wrote:

Am I correct with the following statements?
1. This problem is only relevant for libraries that are actually using
the circulation module (or want to do so in the future) because it is
only about corrupted circulation data in tables: borrowers, biblio,
items, issues, reserves
2. The update (and as well the solution described in
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/DBMS_auto_increment_fix) will only
prevent corrupted data in the future, but is not fixing data that is
already corrupt
3. Instead of an update (which is sometimes more difficult) it is
possible to just follow the steps described in
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/DBMS_auto_increment_fix
4. So far there is no approach as how to correct corrupted data (as I
see the propsed script in
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=19016 has
still to be written and is however not part of any Koha version or
revision yet)
Best wishes: Michael
