Sid is the development version of Debian while Bookworm AKA
Debian 12 is the most recent, stable version of Debian.

I don't know what the reason was for you to use Sid, but if it
is to get a more recent Emacs version it is better to keep the
distribution stable, and install Emacs manually. Then you get
the most recent version of Emacs - i.e. even more recent than
what you get from the Sid repos - while still having the
stable Linux distro beneath it.

Especially since it is so easy ot build Emacs manually.

What do you mean?

If you build Emacs yourself you can get

  GNU Emacs 30.0.50 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, cairo version 1.16.0)
  of 2023-09-08 [commit a2f977d94e0356c7414876e988adedd2ab7b52f2]

and you can configure with --with-native-compilation to make
it much faster. Just try - and you will fly :P
