I am open to anything at this point. The Debian 10 host is a VM. I honestly have had no real exposure to docker containers but am fairly adept on Linux and in learning new systems, command line, scripting, etc. I just need the koha instance to be stable and relatively simplistic to update. I’ve been running this koha instance for well over a decade and this upgrade from 20.05.xx is the first “brick wall” we have encountered. Can you first give me the benefits of running as a docker container and how updating would differ than using Debian apt packages?

Not sure if in your scenario there's the option, but I would strongly recommend start using docker instead of installing packages. If you agree with this approach let me know, I can give you some hints. Cheers.

I have previously engaged the list for upgrade challenges specifically related to the outcome of the Debian package koha-common upgrade scripts. We are stuck at koha-common version 20.05.xx at this point. My latest attempt to upgrade to 20.11.04-1 resulted in the following three error messages. Is there any way to manually alter the correct table(s) to fix the database issues?
