    have in any way been audited for trustworthiness or RFC 3647 compliance.
    Full responsibility to assess them belongs to the local system administrator.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version
    20250419~deb12u1~deb11u1.

    For Debian 12 bookworm, this problem has been fixed in version
