Steffen, thankyou for your reply.  This is a new installation, which is a small POC setup.
There is no need to keep the slurmdbd database alive.

Although this seems to be discouraged (I don't fully get why) it might
help to fetch the source package - both of the version you're currently
running, and the highest one you can find (perhaps for 25.04), and "steal"
(and adapt) the debian/* tree.
(When doing so, make sure you mark the build as a backport so you'll
get the regular one once you full-upgrade.)

You're aware of the requirement not to skip too many versions in between,
to keep the slurmdbd database alive?

Best,
 S
