Hi Chris,
I think I mentioned this on IRC already and you intended to revert, but
nothing happened, so lets turn this into a bug for tracking purposes at
least.
util-linux-extra gained the utils ctrlaltdel, fsck.cramfs, fsck.minix,
mkfs.bfs, mkfs.cramfs, and mkfs.minix. In util-linux-extra, these now
reside below /usr/sbin while they used to reside in /sbin in util-linux
in bookworm and earlier. Hence upgrading from bookworm to sid can cause
these files to be lost.
I think we have three ways to address this:
1. Revert the move and retry after trixie. I think you favoured this?
2. Upgrade Breaks to Conflicts and issue a temporary protective
diversion from u-l-e.preinst to u-l-e.postinst. In theory, apt can
first unpack u-l, then unpack u-l-e and then configure both, so
there is a safe solution. However, there is a risk that apt could
decide to temporarily remove u-l and that would be really bad.
3. Keep Breaks and issue temporary diversions to be removed in forky's
u-l-e.postinst.
Please let me know your choice and I can do a patch.
Helmut
