Bookworm is the established install on the host in question. If there was reason to think upgrading to Trixie would help I'd try it, but so far nobody has suggested that's the case.

Otherwise the system is well-behaved. Thanks for writing, bob prohaska --- PyGate Linux v1.5.1 * Origin: Dragon's Lair, PyGate NNTP<>Fido Gate (3:633/10) .
