Let's face it: yt do their level best to stop stuff like this working,

Several (well, lots of) transitions have landed at pretty the same time.
IME they're usually quite safe - just the occasional oddity, like the
occasional, temporary, package removal. This set is going to bite deep,

I was basing my "this is not permanent" on the fact that there are a
large number of auto-transitions currently ongoing, and many packages
are, as a result, are being affected(1). I thought that LO was caught

Based on all the bug closures (I had no idea that was the case until you

(1) currently only a handful of packages installed on my system have been

I'm far from an expert, but from what I've read, this transition is

going to take time to get it done. Lots, and lots, of time. In the
meanwhile, it means a good deal of disruption in Sid/unstable.
You should already be aware that running sid comes with certain
difficulties, and if you're not prepared/willing to deal with them then,
in all likelihood, Sid isn't for you.

because the spam changes. What's coming now is new, and SA has not
seen it before. You have to train it. Equally, what you consider ham
can change - for example, when you subscribe to a new mailing list that
caters to a subject not encountered by you before because of, say, taking
up a new hobby.
I've been using my spam filtering set up for years too, and I still get

Even my very basic UPS (APC Backup 1400) has a light on the front
labelled "Replace Battery". That, combined with a very annoying high
pitch scream, are pretty good motivators to do the job.
I know the Backup 1400 was mentioned in this thread as "probably avoid"
(or something similar), but it's served me well thus far. Had to replace
the battery pack only once. That was after ten years, not the three to
five that people have been talking about. APC no longer sell that
model, but battery packs are still available. Just as an FYI, the
battery packs are sealed Lead-Acid.
Where I live (UK), it's possible to sell lead-acid batteries to scrap
merchants. Amount paid is variable and subject to massive market forces
that are best described as 'volatile'.
Like others have mentioned with some of the more basic APC devices, this
particular model isn't designed with user replaceable batteries in mind,
but it's not an overly difficult task. It can't easily (if at all) be
done leaving connected devices powered up, though.

Seen it happen; Long filenames, mixed case, and files saved at the
beginning of a session of copying multiple files would be lost because
the FAT was filled, and overwritten from the start by files added later
in the session.
We are talking in excess of 20,000 (not difficult to achieve with
over 1000 CDs to rip) files here, mixed case, and long file names, all.

Depends; I ended up buying three smaller sticks, because the
limitations of the file system meant that the File Allocation Table
got filled up wy before the larger capacity memory sticks did. I
would point out that, since the sticks were bought for use in my car,
reformatting to ext4 (for example) was not an option.
Even with the smaller sticks, I had to use all upper case, and stick to
8.3 names for the files, otherwise the FAT still got overloaded.
Of course, if you're going to reformat the sticks then the foregoing
issues are moot.

Replace the flaky switch. If you're not happy wielding a soldering
iron, get a friend to do it - assuming you know someone competent at
soldering.
Failing that, when you come to buy a new mouse, pay more; That way, one
would hope, that the quality of parts would be better, making for a
longer life.
My mouse developed similar behaviour; LMB(1) became very touchy. I
replaced the switch about three years ago and am still using the same
device now. The mouse is now over a decade old.
Also, it's a good idea to give your mouse a darn good clean every now
and then. This means taking it apart to get all the dust and other cruft
out that accumulates over time.
(1) IME it's almost always LMB that fails - it gets far more use than
RMB.

Don't read mail on my phone, either. Thus, have never looked for the

If they've always used google (and let's face it, there are plenty of

Sorry, I was not explicit; No difference to CM. POP3 and IMAP (etc,
etc.) are protocols CM handles well. It also makes no difference to OP,
personal preference aside, of course.

Already on it. Although I rarely post there these days. Never when it
comes to setting up google; I've never done it, so have no advice to
offer. Other than 'Don't' :-)
And you're right, there are often messages about setting CM up. Most
often with google. Those people usually expect things to 'just work'
and can get overwhelmed by CMs options.
Additionally, google don't make it easy to use software they don't
approve of (read: isn't theirs).

It makes no difference.
Many people prefer IMAP, certainly. Equally, there are those that
prefer POP3 - myself among them. Of course, with google, it's largely
academic; They keep them all, anyway.

Head over to https://lists.claws-mail.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/users
Maybe even subscribe to their list. Expect to have to give people some
useful information, like what error messages you receive and what version
of CM you're using. The latter makes a difference, *especially* with
google because older versions won't do Oauth2.
Expect to have to do some work in CM and at google's site to enable
successful mail transfers to take place. Other providers should be
easier to set up.

It's not really a matter of vagueness on Debian's part, but politeness
on the sender's part.
It's easy to forget that not everyone has an always on, unlimited
download, internet account. For those people still on dial up, with
limited data allowances, we should avoid attachments. Especially large
ones.
Personally, I'm dismayed that so many lists now allow multiple megabyte
attachments to be sent to their lists. Quite often, I see 80-90kbyte
(and more) images that show an error requester with text that could be
typed out in 60 characters or less. There's no need for that image to
be sent.
(sweeping generalisation coming)
People that upload such images are lazy, arrogant, and suffer
from a massive sense of entitlement.

I had changing ethernet port issues and found that creating

with the stanza

MACAddress=AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF
# Substitute the real MAC address

works well. I see no reason that creating two stanzas with (I hope) the

OTOH, if you/they installed LO from (say) stable, and the
localisation from backports, that may explain the issue.
Can't check here, as I'm on Testing (which doesn't exhibit the fault
you're encountering).
>Libreoffice started, then the splash screen appeared and the progress

Sounds almost as if LO had shut down improperly and is trying to
rebuild/create the database. However, the crash dialog usually comes
up pretty quickly, IME.
The only way beyond this point is to get hold of the machine, I think.

With little in the way of information from you, we can only guess, but

Not the job of government. Not directly, I mean. They have agencies to

Plus, of course, when the emails have origins outside the UK's sphere of

Indeed. I never meant to disparage yourself or others with similar
intentions. However, with no further activity, thus far, from OP the
likelihood of seeing one is diminishing. Of course, that may mean
they're successfully unsubbed already.

I wish I did. And I would have done so. It may have happened already

Since the OP wants out, I'd have thought it /extremely/ unlikely they'll

The usual behaviour seems to be;
1. send (misspelled) an unsubscribe message to list.
2. keep receiving messages due to people (understandably) trying to

3. block messages from list and report list address as spam to as many

They didn't put it back. It was never removed from Sid (things rarely

dependency issues (they can't be satisfied). Because of that removal,
the package isn't in the current Debian release - Bookworm.

It wouldn't surprise me; USB has to be one of the worst connection

not helped by the plethora of cheap poor quality cables and connectors
that abound. Even worse, spending extra money on 'high quality' parts
offers no guarantee of success because the 'phone, mobo, hub, whatever,

It's that. Only "essential"(1) updates are permitted. If you think
there are a large number of updates now, wait until a few days after the
release of bookworm and then see the slew of updates that arrive in
testing.
(1) For certain values of "essential". Values (plural) because what
constitutes essential seems to vary from package to package and day to

I'm betting even that wouldn't work; At this point, I'm of the opinion
(after a quick glance through some of the earlier posts in this thread)
that the OP may have installed the driver from Debian but has not fired
up CUPS to actually make use of it.
Given their obvious difficulties with English (not their native tongue,

Unless;

If you run Debian testing/unstable and ever installed anacron 2.3-33 on
a systemd based system, then anacron will no longer be enabled and the
daily/weekly/monthly cron jobs will not be run until it is.
I'm sure most people affected by the issue (I was one of them) have now
corrected it. However, just in case, here's how to find out if you are
affected and the solution;
To see if a system is affected you can use these commands:
zgrep -i anacron.*2.3-33 /var/log/apt/history.log*
systemctl status anacron.service anacron.timer
To re-enable anacron you can use these commands:
sudo systemctl enable anacron.service anacron.timer
sudo systemctl start anacron.service anacron.timer

Always a possibility.
Another possibility is that, somehow, part of your config has got
corrupted. What happens if you try as a different user?
As an aside;
I've got a few niggles here (predating what you're experiencing by
several months) that I can't solve by regular means. When they get
to be too much, and I can stomach the pain, I'll move my current config
out of the way, and start over with a clean slate. One of the issues
seems to be due to corruption of configs, as the fault doesn't manifest
itself in a test user I have set up for the purpose of fault evaluation.

to be sticky until everything is in sync. That said you could, of
course, still have run into some bug or other, I couldn't say.
When large numbers of suite(3) packages start arriving in testing(4), I
usually hold off a day or two before I update in an attempt to be sure
everything upgrades in sync. Because, as you've found out, although
things can upgrade without any apparent issue, they may leave your
desktop in an undesirable state.
That's all part of running testing, of course. In fact, it's the reason
testing exists.
(1) Probably tomorrow
(2) Versioned as 4:5.26.90-1
(3) By which I mean things like Plasma, Gnome, etc.
(4) In this particular case KDE packages from 5.101.* to 5.102.*

To be fair, the page lists more than just that; It lists the status
for everything from Buster to Sid.
Add that to the info given by Greg Wooledge (thank you Greg) about the
Security Team's activities, and we can see that's all the info there is.

You don't say what installation medium you used or what method of
installation, but if you used either CD or DVD it might be that you still
have the installation disk(s) set as repository, and not an online repo.
If that's the case, it is possible that xfce may not be available to you.
For a start, check /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
to find out what repos you're using.
