Hi!
I am trying to upgrade my system from Debian 11 to Debian 12. When I run sudo apt full-upgrade,
λ ~/ main* sudo apt full-upgrade

I am afraid that I will break my system if I attempt to solve it alone. Can anyone help me figure out how to fix the dependency issue?

Well, to start with what appears to be the obvious, did you begin with

`apt-get update' first?
The, `apt-get full-upgrade'.
It's important to establish the current state of your system first.

First things first: did you read through and follow the upgrade
preparation portions of the Bookworm release notes? Going straight for
`apt full-upgrade` _might_ work but is not the recommended upgrade
method for going from one major release to the next.

package, Bullseye is at package version 1:4.7.4-1, but Bookworm is at
1:4.9.0-3+b1, so apt _shouldn't_ try to install 1:4.7.4-1 as part of
an upgrade to Bookworm.
My guess would be that you have some stale Bullseye repository in your
apt sources list, either from Debian or some third-party repository.
See https://www.debian.org/releases/bookworm/amd64/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html#system-status
Please share the output of: grep -r -v '^#' /etc/apt/sources.list*
Please take care to not introduce any line breaks in that output which
are not in the original.

Okay.

I didn't check the other ones, but this doesn't seem right. For that

First run:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt full-upgrade
Second if that does not work then check your repose. You should have something similar to:
less /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main non-free contrib non-free-firmware
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
