everything was working well before I did the latest Birdseye update.
apt install reports that libgfortran5 is installed

Any ideas please...

Only WSJT-x version 2.6.1 runs on Bullseye, so WD may not have installed that version.  
Try manually installing and testing the WSJT-x distribution from the browser on your pi:  https://sourceforge.net/projects/wsjt/
But there is a deeper problem with running WD 3.0 on bullseye:  the bash version 5.1.4 which is supplied by that version of linux suffers from a memory leak, so the Pi will run out of free memory after several days of operation.
So until the fixed bash version 5.1.16 is available for installation on bullseye, I suggest that users stay with the "buster" version of Raspian OS.
Alternatively, you can download the bash 5.1.16 sources and compile and install that on bullseye.

Thankyou Rob. I'll have to backwind to Buster and lock updates... thats the second time this month that Raspi OS updates have screwed up my Pies.  73 Mike
