Thank you for the prompt response! I’m not seeing a lot in these logs. Would uninstalling PHP8.1 be a solution, or is php8.1 a required package?
I did previously have this issue:
Edit: there was no mediawiki pool. Not sure why. I just copied the prestashop config and renamed a few sections. Thank you for your patience. I have now successful upgraded to 12.

Regarding gatekeeping claim:
I am aware that there are several applications that utilize features that are only available in 12. Immich, vaultwarden, Nextcloud are examples of apps that rely on features only available in 12.
Perhaps I am making this issue larger than life. I only have 3 real examples currently:
Peertube - ericg made peertube require 12, yalh reverted to 11.2.30
LSTU - why is this 12? I see no reason. Because helpers 2.1?
Filebrowser: requires 12 entirely arbitrarily.
The above mentality is what I was referring to with the last sentence in my previous post. I thought apps were requiring 12 just because of helpers 2.1.
I know that ericG is a pillar of YuNoHost given his countless contributions to the project. I appreciate the work that he, and you all do.
I apologize for my outburst.
