Software - Support / Re: Upgrade broken: base-files installation fails due to alledgedly unmet usrmerge

@Michaaa7:
Well, that is imho not really the point. Would be nice to know when exactly and how this happened/had been caused.
Actually the laptop in question here runs perfectly with 15.3, so what was changed causing that and why other systems (with the same update-level) had/are not involved with this problem.

Regards

Reiner

It would be very interessing to hear from *one single person* for whom the leading "/" is working with the directories inquestion on an fully up to date system.

"man ln" states that the path is resolved relatively to the parent directory of the link. This to me seems to be the explanation way the leading "/" must not exist. Because that makes the path absolut, not relative.

An other question is: Where does the wrong path come from?

@michaa7
Eigentlich lese ich nur, dass das bei Towo und Anderen (auch bei einem meiner Rechner) anders ist. Warum und wieso ist mir nach wie vor unklar.
Und ich habs, wie vielleicht Andere auch, nicht sooo eilig an gravierenden Systemeinstellungen manuell rum zu fummeln, ohne wirklich genau zu wissen was die Ursache des Problems ist/war bzw. wieso und warum ich das tue und ob es dann vielleicht doch gravierende Folgen haben könnte oder vielleicht eine Behebung der Probleme durch ein upgedatetes Paket verhindert.

Well, the only thing i read/know for now is that this is different on Towos and others boxes (On one of mine too).  Why and how this happened ist still absolutely unclear to me.
 And I am usually not too keen to fumble manually on existential system-parameters without knowing the initial cause of the problem and the exact reasons why I should do so whitout knowing wether doing so could have severe consequences on the system later on or prevents the implementation of fixes for this package later on.

Well, that used to be the case, until Debian lost Norbert Preining as a developer by depriving him of his rights. On my blog, I have an item on the facts of the matter. You will have to translate https://linuxnews.de/norbert-preining-verlaesst-debian/ from German.

Besides that, the 64-bit time_t transition came in the way in the spring of 202 and paralysed every development for a good 6 weeks. Right now a lot of Plasma 6 is already in unstable, but not everything. Things trickle in from experimental on a daily basis.

Aha, ja merkwürdig!

Und bei der Einstellung der "nicht-funktionierenden" Programme(!) - nicht des Druckers - ist auch jeweils A4 ausgewählt und nicht etwa Letter?

Auch lohnt eventuell ein Blick auf "pdftopdf": CUPSPdfToPdf [https://wiki.debian.org/CUPSPdfToPdf], was natürlich nur ein Notbehelf wäre, wenn's klappt.

Seitenformat vom Drucker ist A4. Hab mal Probeweise auf Letter umgestellt falls das pdf "falsch" erstellt wurde.

Funzt weder mit Atril und auch nicht mit qpdfview.
Evince auch kein Erfolg.
ImageMagick kein Erfolg.

Drucker zeigt an, nachdem anscheinend dort Daten ankommen das Auftrag abgebrochen wird.

Mit LibreOffice Draw ging es.

Irgendwie komisch.

ist das vllt "evince" welches den Druckdialog bereitstellt? Dann versuch einfach mal "okular" oder den FF.

Hi,
we are waiting for Plasma 6 to be fully available in Unstable, before we do our next release. Typically, we try to release twice a year, though. You can have a look at https://testbuilds.siduction.org/, where you can find builds, that have been built, booted and installed by us. Not further testing, but usually these builds are totally fine.

Interesting... I thought  Plasma 6 WAS available in unstable. What's missing? Historically unstable has always been right on the bleeding edge...
