Troubleshooting • Re: I messed up my trusty RPI bookworm by trying to outsmart apt (raspberrypi-ui-mods)

Thanks for responding/suggesting.
I hadn't tried sudo apt full-upgrade (didn't know it) , but have now.
It fails the same way, unfortunately.
Here's the commands I've used so far, to render that "raspberrypi-ui-mods" rather useless:

apt update # all fine.
apt list --upgradable # checking which ones it deemed necessary even if "upgrade" would do the same.
apt upgrade # This went fine, but here's when I saw the "packages has been held back, and thought I'd "fix" it.
apt-get dist-upgrade # Found that this would fix the "held back" issue. But - well - it did NOT
apt info arandr # One of the packages mentioned (rasputin was another one.)
apt update # maybe second time would make it wiser... It didn't
apt reinstall raspberrypi-ui-mods #This didn't do any good either.
apt autoremove # I usually do this to, well - clean up.
apt remove raspberrypi-ui-mods #didn't accept, just wanted to see what it'd do if I said Yes.
sudo apt upgrade # getting desperate here (but I do not actually USE that raspberry UI things anyway - I just like that things installed actually works..
sudo apt clean # normal maintenance, as sudo because I magically sudo would do more than normal root actions...
sudo apt autoclean # normal maintenance .....
sudo apt autoremove # normal maintenance .....
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade #saw some claim that you should sudo the thing (I'm working as root, so I don't believe that
vi /etc/apt/sources.list.d/raspi.list #doublechecking/comparing to various Google suggestions. Found nothing wrong (file unchanged from bookworm install)

Nothing seems to fix the bloody raspberrypi-ui-mods thing

This is what it compains about, I think :
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/proc//.config’: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing package raspberrypi-ui-mods (--configure):
installed raspberrypi-ui-mods package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
raspberrypi-ui-mods
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


Could there be an error in :
