It appears to be complaining that the image title is
protected, though
that doesn't make a lot of sense here. This could be a problem with the
Debian package or its interaction with your configuration; it could also be
a bug in 1.12 (which was released two years ago, after all).
Just wanted to follow up...
I gathered up my courage and upgraded MediaWiki. Backing up, etc. wasn't too hard and
I encountered
no problems. Debian "backports" had v1.15.1 for the current Debian stable, so I
did end up using
that instead of the MediaWiki sources (didn't want to risk too much :-) ). That went
fine since
installing just that package required no additional dependencies.
After running the update.php script, uploading image files worked -- without changing
anything
[further] in my LocalSettings.php. So, it seems you were right...it was either a problem
with
Debian's [older] MediaWiki or something in my settings conflicted with it.
Thank you all for your help! Perhaps I should have more courage when it comes to
deviating from
Debian stable. :-)
