Thanks Michael/bin, /lib(*) and /sbin are directories not links, sorry I did not make that clear.
I only backup /etc and /home and some other setting files, even though it is testing.
This is the first big failure, for me, in the years, though re-install is not a big issue, which I will do some time later as it all works but just cannot be updated and no new applications.
I see your point in knowing weather the previous or the failed update caused the problem would help the maintainer. But all I can state is that it was between upgrades as no other application installs were made in this time. I do not know what I can say in a bug report ... may be I am idiot for keeping it so long since a re-install. I think stretch was the install, and it is now on bookworm.
