Description davewood 2023-10-17 12:42:48 UTC

if you install Koha on debian 12 (bookworm) you will end up with version 8 of the module https://metacpan.org/pod/Search::Elasticsearch

at the moment of writing this bug report this module doesnt work with ES 7.0 (the latest ES version that I am aware works with Koha 23.05

changing the version requirement in https://github.com/Koha-Community/Koha/blob/master/cpanfile#L99) to

```
requires 'Search::Elasticsearch', '< 8.00';
```

currently installs Search-Elasticsearch-7.717 which seems to work for me.

current workaround for our system. run `cpanm Search::Elasticsearch~"< 8.00"`

On koha-testing-docker using main version 24.0600026, I'm using libsearch-elasticsearch-perl 8.00-1, and it's working with Elasticsearch 7.17.20

So... I think this might be invalid at this time.
