This seems to hit everyone with a Rasperry Pi who upgraded 
Debian/Raspian from bullseye to bookworm.

https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?p=2157290 has a workaround:

> 1. Unmount the boot partition with `sudo umount /boot`
> 2. Create the new firmware directory: `sudo mkdir /boot/firmware`
> 3. Edit `/etc/fstab`, with `sudo nano /etc/fstab`, and replace `/boot` 
>    to `/boot/firmware`; exit and save with `Ctrl+x` then Y then Enter.
> 4. Run `sudo systemctl daemon-reload`
> 5. Remount the boot partition again with `sudo mount -a`
> 6. Fix the installation, with `sudo apt-get dist-upgrade` and/or `sudo 
>    apt-get -f install`.

Would be great if the package did that automatically.

Looks like someone might be working on this:

If you upload your address book to "the cloud", I don't want to be in it.
