Hi!
I understand these pkgs are security releases.
However, some of these packages that are new in stable make my libreoffice unusable:
ii  xserver-xorg-core 2:21.1.16-1.3+deb13u1 amd64        Xorg X server - core server
ii  xserver-xorg-legacy 2:21.1.16-1.3+deb13u1 amd64        setuid root Xorg server wrapper
ii  xserver-common 2:21.1.16-1.3+deb13u1 all          common files used by various X servers
ii  openjdk-21-jre-headless:amd64 21.0.9+10-1~deb13u1 amd64        OpenJDK Java runtime, using >
ii  openjdk-21-jre:amd64 21.0.9+10-1~deb13u1 amd64        OpenJDK Java runtime, using Hotspot J>
ii  bind9-libs:amd64 1:9.20.15-1~deb13u1 amd64        Shared Libraries used by BIND 9
ii  bind9-dnsutils 1:9.20.15-1~deb13u1 amd64        Clients provided with BIND 9
ii  bind9-host     1:9.20.15-1~deb13u1 amd64        DNS Lookup Utility

All freshly installed.

The libreoffice is:
ii  libreoffice    4:25.2.3-2+deb13u2 amd64        office productivity suite (metapackage)

After downgrading the above packages (and not touching libreoffice), and a restart, all works as before:
The downgrade was performed with dpkg command, and installing from cash:
/var/cache/apt/archives/bind9-dnsutils_1%3a9.20.11-4_amd64.deb
/var/cache/apt/archives/bind9-host_1%3a9.20.11-4_amd64.deb
/var/cache/apt/archives/bind9-libs_1%3a9.20.11-4_amd64.deb
/var/cache/apt/archives/openjdk-21-jre_21.0.8+9-1_amd64.deb
/var/cache/apt/archives/openjdk-21-jre-headless_21.0.8+9-1_amd64.deb
/var/cache/apt/archives/xserver-common_2%3a21.1.16-1.3_all.deb
/var/cache/apt/archives/xserver-xorg-core_2%3a21.1.16-1.3_amd64.deb
/var/cache/apt/archives/xserver-xorg-legacy_2%3a21.1.16-1.3_amd64.deb

which are simply the previous versions of the above packages.

I hope this sufficiently identifies the bug, or tell me if I've missed something, please.

Regards,
Elimork

It really looked like I described, but after a while and a regular update all was fine, so this bug should be marked as unreproducible.

Sorry I didn't find time earlier.

I'm not sure I can do it, but I'll try, as I found found something at:
https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control
and so I started this mail with the line:
Control: tags 1119999 + unreproducible

Thank you, Debian team, without Debian Linux the world would be much less than it is.
