You say, you followed the release-notes. So, do you have a log of the upgrade process, as advised in <https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/release-notes/upgrading.en.html#recording-the-session> ?

Chances are high, that a complete reinstall could have been avoided. Now, the "damaged" system is no longer there, and cannot be investigated anymore. If you don't have the upgrade logs available, I'm not sure if the issue is happen to be found/fixed... Best regards Holger -- Sent from /e/ OS on Fairphone3
