I got error

Err:5 http://security.debian.org/bookworm-security bookworm-security/updates Release

E: The repository 'http://security.debian.org/bookworm-security bookworm-security/updates Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

For me works next fix:

cat > /etc/apt/sources.list <<"EOF"
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main

deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm-updates main
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm-updates main
EOF

instead of: deb http://security.debian.org/bookworm-security bookworm-security/updates main I have used deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main

Agree with Alexey and others after - change the url its fine.

The libcrypt I didn't have to deal with. However! usrmerge!

They are merging filesystems and links in /usr

I did NOT install usrmerge prior to upgrade from 11 to 12 - and ran into issues. If I installed the usrmerge after 11, but before 12, it all worked fine.

Why run both apt-get upgrade and apt-get full-upgrade instead of just running apt-get full-upgrade to do all of the upgrades in one go?

Because that's what you do, stop asking such questions.

Correct on the 10 to 11 changes for security.

keyword buster/updates should be replaced with bullseye-security:

Original is:

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster main
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian buster main
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates main
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster-updates main
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian buster-updates main

Updated for bullseye as:

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye main
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye main
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye-updates main
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye-updates main
