Indeed, I did. I was left without any instructions, a little tired and
hurry, and I fucked up.

I can understand this argument. Though I do not think changing the error
message would require much development resources.
I also think that protecting users for their own security is always
good. If we want Linux to be more adopted in the general public, this
kind of issues is an hindrance. Novice users are more likely to fuck up,
while being the ones that are the less likely to report such issues (and
to think of doing it/to know how to do it).
For me it's too late. But if it can help others, it'd be a good think.

Then you started thinkering with your system to "fix" it and did worse.
It'd help me if, at least, usrmerge printed the number of duplicates and sym
links. Maybe with a more explicit error message, indicating what to do, "we
strongly advise to reinstall your system", "remove duplicates, but be
careful of symlinks", or whatever.
This does not happen frequently enough (only you reported this) to
justify investing development resources.
