[Koha] search patron not working

[Giuseppe Angilella]

Thank you very much, Martin (and Katrin again)!

I reverted to my previous Ubuntu/Debian repository configuration, as 
Martin kindly suggested, and performed an apt update/upgrade.

Nothing changed: as said, Koha looked as if it was already up-to-date.

But this time I finally noticed that a couple of dependencies had been 
kept back for upgrade, including libmojolicious-perl

A closer investigation reported that:

sudo apt list --upgradable
Listing... Done
libmojolicious-perl/stable,stable 9.90+really9.22-koha1 all [upgradable from: 7.59+dfsg-1ubuntu1]
libmojolicious-plugin-openapi-perl/stable,stable 5.99+really5.05-koha1 all [upgradable from: 1.15-1~kohadev1]

showing that this particular package had to do with Koha, and it had to do 
with API as well!

I then proceeded to upgrade that specific package with

sudo apt upgrade libmojolicious-perl

which did the trick!

The API within Koha are now working correctly (which was the problem that 
Katrin originally pointed out), and I can both look for (and find) 
patrons, and list unreceived shipments!

(...which are quite a number, since November, when I first spotted the 
problem! ;-) )

Thank you everyone, once more!

Giuseppe.
