Severity: important
apt update fails since upgrading from Debian 11 to Debian 12.
Retypesetting from the screen of the machine with the failure (comments
and irrelevant parts were dropped):

However, the rest seems normal:

Raised severity because this bug prevents me from properly upgrading the
system after the initial upgrade from Debian 11 to Debian 12.
