Sounds like you were doing something wrong. Some packages may fail but certainly not 600 of them, at least not the packages that were installed manually. Packages that were auto-installed should not be installed manually.
In my case, about 5 packages had to (re)installed manually when I was upgrading from Debian 11 to 12.
All I did was modify /etc/apt/sources.list from Bullseye to Bookworm, then I ran apt update and apt upgrade. I guess I could have run apt full-upgrade and that probably would have worked better.
Either way I wanted to try out Plasma Big Screen and it is running alright. It still needs more polish. I only tested the x11 version and not the wayland version. I will try the wayland version next.
