There was no other error during the whole upgrade but I don't have the full log
anymore. In spite of the error message the upgrade was successful. After each
upgrade I check the installation with the commands:

# apt-get check ; dpkg -C ; aptitude search '~b' '~g' '~c'


The version of openjdk-17 was 17.0.5+8-2 before this upgrade.
And I have to correct the version of ca-certificates-java which was 20230103.

Yes I have the status file. Compressed it is ca. 400 kB. I don't know if it's
o.k. to attach it.

Yes, I know :-(
On a second, similar computer I didn't see the error message.
