Other stuff was going to hell too, after only 20 hours of uptime, so I 
rebooted, something I don't like to do because this machine is the heart 
of a 6 machine setup, and it takes about 20 minutes worth of typeing my 
pw to get everything working again. This is months below the stability I 
had with stretch, but I was also running the tde desktop on stretch. But 
I was unable to get tde to install on bullseye. Dependency hell tried to 
kill the machine and succeeded, accounting for about 3 of my 20 some 
bullseye installs. None of those installs would reboot the 2nd time, 
causing new installs.  All of that isn't kde's problem, the installer 
kept assuming I blind and hard of hearing, and installs speech-
dispatcher, orca and brltty, and disabling them kills the reboot because 
it can't start them, and no one can tell me how to remove them once they 
are installed. 

All of this on hardware that could run several months between reboots on 
stretch.

So for a few hours at least, its working.

Thanks Martin, take care & stay well.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.
