Standalone Debian 11 -> 12 Upgrade Question

[qubes...@riseup.net]

Hello!

I'm trying to upgrade a standalone Debian 11 qube from Qubes OS 4.1
to Debian 12 on Qubes OS 4.2.

I started by making a backup from the standalone on Qubes OS 4.1.

Then I restored it on a fresh Qubes OS 4.2 installation.

Inside that restored standalone I run the upgrade script:
https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-dist-upgrade/blob/release4.1/scripts/upgrade-template-standalone.sh

which worked fine, but upgrading Debian 11 -> 12 failed - see below.

The documentation does not yet contain steps for Debian 11 -> 12 yet:
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/templates/debian/in-place-upgrade/#debian-11-bullseye

Are there Debian 12 specific issues to consider during the upgrade?
Any idea on how to work around the issue shown below?

thanks!
