Hello all,
with the latest version of apt a topic has become acute here again, which I had long thought settled.
$ sudo apt -V upgrade
<List of packages to be upgraded>
E: /bin resolved to a different inode than /usr/binE: Unmerged usr is no longer supported, install usrmerge to continue.
N: See https://www.debian.org/releases/bookworm/amd64/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#a-merged-usr-is-now-required for more details
I remember that I had installed the package usrmerge at that time. I do not remember an error message.
When I install usrmerger again, I get this error message.
$ sudo apt -V install usrmerge

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
dpkg-fsys-usrunmess : Conflicts: usrmerge
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
The bug description (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1052058) of apt doesn't really help me either.
what does
apt list --installed dpkg-fsys-usrunmess
say?
dpkg-fsys-usrunmess : Conflicts: usrmerge
Read: https://wiki.debian.org/UsrMerge (https://wiki.debian.org/UsrMerge)
Do:
# dpkg --remove --force-all dpkg-fsys-usrunmess

$ sudo apt list --installed dpkg-fsys-usrunmess
Listing... Done
dpkg-fsys-usrunmess/now 1.21.3 all [installed,local]
@edlin
Removing package dpkg-fsys-usrunmess followed by
$ sudo apt --fix-broken install
helped a lot to solve my problem.
