Running Bookworm x64 on rpi 3b

Any help appreciated

It surprisingly worked for bookworm already for the previous update. Domoticz needs libssl1 but it is not available on bookworm.

So you have to install it manually to get Domoticz working again or switch to the docker version of Domoticz to get rid of this libssl1 obligation.
See for example https://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=315488

I did read about that but as it was working previously I discounted it - Duh!
Anyway I have fixed it but not by installing libssl1 although I will be doing that now.
Here is what I did but I don't know why it worked given what I know now, first I renamed my domoticz folder to some thing different then created a new domoticz folder and extracted the complete backup that gets done before an update into that folder - that also didn't work so i renamed that folder as well then did a complete fresh domoticz install from cmd line, once completed I copied the contents of the restored backup over top of anything in that folder and then it was fine - very weird.
Given what you have told me the even more strange thing is that during the install I definitely remember the script checking for libssl1 and it saying it present and OK. I certainly haven't installed it manually since my bookworm install, this is only my test pi so any issues are not a major problem but thanks for your response @waltervl

Edit - quick update.
So I tried
sudo apt install libssl1.1
and it says already installed so this just confuses me more, I didn't install it and as it is present it also doesn't explain why it failed in the first place.

In the install script there is now an libssl1 install action so it will update the system during install. This action should not be needed on updates.
If I google on this it is not the best solution to do but it seems to do the trick for now.
