Servers upgraded to Debian 12 (bookworm) #debian

🕗︎ - 2023-06-24

Two weeks ago Debian released version 12 (bookworm).

A couple of days ago I upgraded the two small VPS's I use to run DNS and backup mx's - it was quite smooth, I only had to remove a couple of lines from /etc/bind/named.conf.options.

Tonight I upgraded the main home server. It was also quite smooth, only problems were:

Removed lines from /etc/bind/named.conf.options (same as the VPS's)
Had to backport libapache2-request-perl from trixie (current testing), as I had a couple of Perl-based websites depending on modules from that package.
The latest version of the stm-hamt Haskell library (1.2.0.10) doesn't build, so I had to adjust .cabal files to use <= 1.2.0.8.
Added non-free-firmware in /etc/apt/sources.list.
Moved /etc/apt/trusted.gpg into /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/.
Still need to sort out Apache::Gallery.

"Fixed" Apache::Gallery by patching Text::Template:

+++ Template.pm.patched	2023-06-24 08:10:32.293666455 +0200

-        my $untaint   = _param('untaint', %a);
+        my $untaint   = 1; _param('untaint', %a);

It's not pretty, and maybe I should have patched Apache::Gallery instead, but it's the only module I run that uses Text::Template.

Upgraded my jukebox as well - no issues what-so-ever. Respect, Debian/Raspbian!
