Summary	0011518: Test taler-merchant v1.6.5 to be production-ready [-> taler-merchant v1.6.6 might be needed; reproduce furtherly]
Description	Due to a new DB scheme (v38), the taler-merchant v1.6.x introduces new complexities. We need to rule out production systems run into issues by upgrade or in ops; by carefully testing core functionality and also observe mutations to the DB and check if there are errors or warnings by taler-merchant-httpd.

vecirex 2026-06-17 15:01 manager ~0028927	We need a new package taler-merchant v1.6.6, as this version seems to break existing installations from "trixie" / stable at least (maybe also from older v1.6.x versions, not tested); it shouldn't thus be promoted. Example w/ taler.hacktivism.ch, w/ steps carried out manually; all steps (of scripts) outlined.

vecirex 2026-06-17 20:18 reporter ~0028938	Try to reproduce in two additional ways: 1. Fresh install in podman container, but from scratch; first taler-merchant v1.5.16, then upgrade to trixie-testing. 2. Fresh install in container, but using systemd (to exclude it has to do with the custom scripting or postinstall scripts not running through).
