Description
PROBLEMS
During night the autoupdate was enabled. This caused massive problems. I had php8.3 installed and enabled. The auto-update function installed again php8.1 and removed somehow php8.3. During this process The database was deleted.
I found this in the log, which may caused the error

Research direction
The report points to the autoupdate flow, especially the PHP package handling and the database restore and rollback steps. Start by tracing those entry points against the logged ERROR 1010 and failed rollback; done should explain the version replacement and database loss, with a regression check for the update path.
