I recently did an 'apt update' and 'apt upgrade' on my bookworm system.

In the 'apt upgrade' output there is the following:-

Setting up python (3.12.7-1) ...

NOTE: The system python package has been updated to 3.12.
NOTE: Run 'pkg upgrade' to update system python packages.
NOTE: Packages installed using pip needs to be re-installed.

Where/how do I run 'pkg upgrade'? It's not directly from the command
line (no 'pkg'), is it from a Python prompt? ... or in pip?

I tried a web search but all I got was lots of unwanted information
about pip installed packages.

Please double-check that it's really Bookworm.

If you believe it is, then show us the full and unmangled output of:

$ lsb_release -a
$ sudo grep -rvh '^#' /etc/apt/sources.list* | grep -v '^$'

It looks like the Python versions shipped in various current Debian
releases are:

- Bookworm: Python 3.11 (3.11.2-6+deb12u3) https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/python3.11

- Trixie: Python 3.12 (3.12.6-1) https://packages.debian.org/trixie/python3.12

- Sid: Python 3.12 (3.12.7-1 on all but ia64, mips64el, sparc64) https://packages.debian.org/sid/python3.12

So short of pulling such a package from elsewhere, the only way I can
see that you'd get a 3.12.7-1 package version of Python is by running
Sid. And even then I would expect the package name to be "python3.12",
not just "python". (The "python3" package in Sid is, somewhat
curiously, at 3.12.6-1, same as Trixie but different from Sid's
"python3.12" package.)

The message looks as if it would be a FreeBSD system. 'pkg' is the
package manager of FreeBSD, comparable to 'apt*' on Debian.
On the other hand, as far as I know the actual python version on FreeBSD
is still 3.11. And should be is nothing as a 'system python'.

I tried a web search but all I got was lots of unwanted information
about pip installed packages.

Kind regards,
Christoph

Ah, sorry, my mistake entirely. I was running 'apt update' and 'apt
upgrade' on several systems nearly all of which are now running Debian Bookworm. But the message I reported here was on the odd one out, an
Android mobile phone running Termux.

I'll quickly disappear back under my stone.....
