I noticed many messages in /var/log/dpkg.log stating "half-configured" and "half-installed" for many components.
This is a fresh install of: debian-live-12.5.0-amd64-kde.iso

Re: [Software] half-configured and half-installed
These are normal logs, the progress of dpkg action:
If the process ends with "status installed", it's all good. Only if it ends at a previous step is there a problem. These steps are described in the dpkg manual:
In my case everything is fine.

#> dpkg --audit
man 1 dpkg wrote: -C, --audit [package-name...]
Performs database sanity and consistency checks for package-name or all packages if omitted (per package checks since dpkg 1.17.10). For example, searches for packages that have been
installed only partially on your system or that have missing, wrong or obsolete control data or files. dpkg will suggest what to do with them to get them fixed.
