Hi Bob,
What does your sources list say on the desktop?
What's the difference between laptop and desktop /etc/apt/sources.list files?
All the very best, as ever,

Hi Andy,
My mistake, I intended to include some comparison info and then
... :(
Both files look to "bookworm", nothing in either about "stable"
or other names.
The desktop does not have references to deb-src repositories
where the laptop does.
The desktop also references bookworm-backports where the laptop
does not.
There are a few other diffs caused by different ordering of names
or different dates or cdrom version.
