It's been cropping up routinely, a day or so after updating the system.

Simply continuing to update as updates were offered. Last time this
occurred the issue was resolved in a couple of weeks, IIRC.

Bookworm is the established install on the host in question. 

If there was reason to think upgrading to Trixie would help I'd try it,
but so far nobody has suggested that's the case. Bullseye seemed to work
pretty well, Bookworm somewhat less so. That trend isn't encouraging....

Far as I've seen, the _only_ problem has been with watching  videos.
Otherwise the system is well-behaved.

Thanks for writing,
