apt install -fproduces (with a small enchencement of adding set -x in the hook script): http://dpaste.com//3FBMPHH
I do not use btrfs, I have /bin/btrfs but I do not have /bin/btrfs-zero-log
Any ideas if it's my config or something changed in the kernel package?

I have the same error

Indeed, looks like it. Thanks for the info.

You beat me to it

[harley-peter]

Where can I find btrfs-progs 4.16.1-2 which seems to fix the bug?
Or can I remove the package btrfs-progs at all because I do not use btrfs?

[piper]

If you don't use btrfs, you can safely do

Code Select Expand

apt purge btrfs-progs btrfs-tools

btrfs-tools is a transitional dummy package

Just wait it out for btrfs-progs 4.16.1-2, which is part of the ongoing testing transition known as auto-btrfs-progs.
