I thought I might upgrade to Trixie.
This bookworm install I think I let the installer decide what to do.
I don't really understand EFI and GPT, I might have done but I've
forgotten.
I was concerned that the backup GPT table being corrupt might cause
issues upgrading to Trixie.
The internet says that the backup GPT is at the end of the disk.
Is that the end of the disk or the partition?
Not being very good at calculating sector sizes is the swap partition
at the end of the disk?
There's 62Gb of memory so I shouldn't need the swap.
Is there anything I should do before trying to get gdisk to fix the
issue?

The backup GPT table is corrupt, but the primary appears OK, so that
will be used.
