Hi,

It appears that your system is still using the security archive from
bullseye on a bookworm system. This should be removed from the apt
configuration.

This happens because installing the bullseye version of tzdata over the
bookworm version is not supported.

This is indeed the right thing to do. That said this should have been
done automatically during the upgrade. I guess you system is missing the
stable-updates entry for stable/bookworm:
