    Hi there

    I currently run Asterisk 16 on a Debian 12 / Bookworm box, which is
    like
    installing Asterisk on Debian 11 / Bullseye and then upgrading to 12.
    As far as I can tell, this won't work on 13 / Trixie.
      From the libgnutls30t64 control;

       Breaks: libgnutls30 (<< 3.8.9-3+deb13u1)
       Replaces: libgnutls30
       Provides: libgnutls30 (= 3.8.9-3+deb13u1)

    This leaves me with two options:
    - Download Asterisk from the Asterisk site and then compile.
    - Backport Asterisk 22 from Debian Unstable / Sid to Debian 13

    As a little test I build a backport to 12. This does produce packages,
    but I did not test these.

    So what does one recommend?


You should probably build a modern version of Astersik on your own.

I was just reading about the latest releases of Astersik due to security 
bugs.  The latest Astersik versions are 23.2.2 and 22.8.2 (and 21.12.1 
and 20.18.2).  Also see <https://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2026/Feb/ 
<https://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2026/Feb/>> and <https:// 
github.com/asterisk/asterisk <https://github.com/asterisk/asterisk>>.

The speed at which security patches are implemented is an issue. I'm not 
sure what a releasable time would be.
