Ah, yes, sorry, forgot about the policy. 🙈️ But its's the same behaviour on vanilla Trixie (and derived distos, like LMDE Gigi beta, etc.), too… > and thus the bug (if it was reported against the BTS) would be important only, IMHO. So you suggest I roll back my test VM to the standard packages, and report the bug again, to ensure it is in the database? (And the bug *is* a blocker in my case, btw.!)

I think we have two issues here: (1) Calling a legitimate SQL function must not result in an error and (2) the lack of platform interoperability. Whilst (2) isn't nice, it is *not* a blocker for me. But (1) IMHO probably *can* be fixed unless Firebird 4 is completely broken (or not ISO/IEC 9075 compatible any more, which is rather unlikely) or the glue layer is beyond your control. The issue occurred on a friend's (roofer, no computer expert) box who used “XRechnung” (<https://www.familiegrosskopf.de/robert/index.php?&Inhalt=xrechnung>, building upon the experimental embedded FB feature, but that's beyond our control) for his business for some time happily on a Win 10 box. Due to the expired support of the latter, I migrated his machine to Debian. So I guess unless (1) is fixed, the only option is to throw away the broken (from the user's pov) Debian packages, and to install those from libreoffice.org, right? I must admit that this is really disappointing for a disto which aims at being the most “stable”, to be honest. Thanks anyway, Albrecht.
