I have upgraded Sparky 6 to 7 using a script. It went smooth.
https://sparkylinux.org/sparky-dist-upgrade-script/

When I use command apt update I see a mark "Stary" (Old in Polish) next to my repository list . Is it a problem?

root@Sparky:/home/rektal# apt update
Stary:1 https://repo.sparkylinux.org unstable InRelease
Stary:2 http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security/updates InRelease

I have unchecked Debian sid repository too. Is it correct?

I have noticed that Plasma Discover is not working properly.
There is an info: KDE Discover: Unable to load applications. Please verify Internet connectivity.

There was an issue prior to 5.21.2 (as in 5.20.5) where certain elements failed to gather information ( continuous indicator rotation).
Changing repos to testing, the update to kde(5.21.2) is indeed an issue.
No problem using synaptic or Sparky Aptus.

I have a problem with exim4 and I don't know if it is associated with this upgrade.
When I restart system I see a message on black screen: Failed to start LSB :exim Mail Transport Agent.

rektal@Sparky:~$ systemctl status exim4.service
● exim4.service - LSB: exim Mail Transport Agent

How to repair it?

Timeshift is not working anymore. It launches in live usb mode.
In Location tab I can't select the partition where my backups are.
I see this partition on Dolphin so partition is mounted.

Timeshift is not working due KDE Plasma 5.21.2 update. I have checked it.
I have restored system from Timeshift snapshot and Timeshift works fine. After update KDE Plasma to 5.21.2, Timeshift is only in live usb mode.
How to stop update to Plasma 5.21.2?

Will there be another KDE Plasma update? Now it's KDE Plasma 5.21.5.
I think there is a dependency missing that Timeshift is no longer working.
Without Timeshift, I cannot back up my system.
Sometimes I used Timeshift to restore the system and this application is indispensable to me.

I wanted to try Systemback instead of Timeshift but it didn't work for me.
The Systemback not let me select storage directory. Default is set to /home.
I wanted to set up another location with ext4 file system but I coudn't do it. There is a red X mark.

After today's update of Timeshift the problem has solved. Timeshift works again.
