I have never seen this issue anywhere and I have no clue what that
file is. If you can provide instructions how to reproduce it, I could
try to dig into what it is about.

I'm not sure what you are after. The machine in question is a laptop
with Buster (latest), and all sorts of stiff.

I have other machines, also VMs (KVM), where this problem does not
occur. Eg. I have just 'apt dist-upgraded' a KVM VM on the same laptop,
which also has this software, and there, it just runs as expected. On
the host, which has very similar software, just much, much more, the
same thing fails. :(

My question is: Why does the server sometimes require this file to be
present, and where? I mean, this software has imho no business asking
for that file, to begin with.


Thanks,
Toni

Thanks for reporting!

Can you provide us enough information about your environment so we
could try to reproduce this error?
Or can you reproduce it yourself in a Docker, LXC or other container
with a clean Debian environment?
