Further to my disappearing /var/run/utmp query, I also newly can't start VMs
with virt-manager without first doing
$ sudo modprobe tun
This has also changed recently, apparently without intervention on my part.
Presumably it has stopped being autoloaded somewhere.

Hello,

both return nothing, with or without sudo.

I upgraded from Buster stable to Bullseye stable last night, with apparent
success eventually, but it went less than smoothly and I would be grateful for

A recent dist-upgrade on Buster (in a scripted cron job run at 01:00 daily)
failed due to apt-listbugs complaining about the boot-breaking bug in

I'm trying to install gnome-online-accounts on Debian 10.7 with Mate:

Package gnome-control-center is not available, but is referred to by another

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

There is apparently a Python 3 fork of wicd (or two) but I can't figure out
what state they're in - are either of these likely to become available in
Buster repos? Backports?

It seems to me that Jerry may have mistakenly typed a user rather than root
password at the su (not sudo) prompt at least once, but also used the correct
(root) password at least once.
