[Koha] Patron search not working after upgrade to version 22

[Evan Stewart]

Hi,

I found the solution on Raspberry Pi OS (based on Debian 10). I noticed
that after running apt upgrade two packages were held back:

   - libmojolicious-perl
   - libmojolicious-plugin-openapi-perl

I didn't notice them before and probably wouldn't have noticed them had I
not learned about the REST API and then read a little about it in the Koha
documentation (thanks Katrin!). Once I saw the REST API references the
OpenAPI format I figured these packages were the culprit.  Also, I
confirmed in my About Koha settings page that the Open API module was
flagged as "not installed" after I upgraded to Koha 22.

The solution for me was to install the two packages with apt.  Not sure why
they were held back using "apt upgrade", but running "sudo apt install
libmojolicious-plugin-openapi-perl" called in all other dependent packages;
including the upgrade for libmojolicious-perl and nine other new packages.

I rebooted my Raspberry Pi, logged into Koha and all is good.  The Open API
module is listed as "Installed" in the About Koha settings page and the
patron search and library listing is working.

Kyle, hopefully this helps your machine.
