--- Begin Message ---Package: usrmerge Version: 6 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system Dear Maintainer, I installed usrmerge on a system to try it out, and ended up with system that could not be rebooted. I'll try to outline the status as best I recall in the hopes that you can recreate the issue. * What led up to the situation? I installed usrmerge, and got the following during configuration: -------------------- Setting up usrmerge (6) ... WARNING: renaming /bin/ (for the purpose of replacing it with a symlink to /usr/bin/) has failed with the EBUSY error. This is probably caused by a systemd service started with the ProtectSystem option. Before running again this program you will need to stop the relevant daemon(s) or reboot the system. Do not install or update other Debian packages until the program has been run successfully. WARNING: renaming /sbin/ (for the purpose of replacing it with a symlink to /usr/sbin/) has failed with the EBUSY error. This is probably caused by a systemd service started with the ProtectSystem option. Before running again this program you will need to stop the relevant daemon(s) or reboot the system. Do not install or update other Debian packages until the program has been run successfully. WARNING: renaming /lib/ (for the purpose of replacing it with a symlink to /usr/lib/) has failed with the EBUSY error. This is probably caused by a systemd service started with the ProtectSystem option. Before running again this program you will need to stop the relevant daemon(s) or reboot the system. Do not install or update other Debian packages until the program has been run successfully. WARNING: renaming /lib64/ (for the purpose of replacing it with a symlink to /usr/lib64/) has failed with the EBUSY error. This is probably caused by a systemd service started with the ProtectSystem option. Before running again this program you will need to stop the relevant daemon(s) or reboot the system. Do not install or update other Debian packages until the program has been run successfully. dpkg: error processing package usrmerge (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: usrmerge -------------------- I could not figure out which processes/daemons in particular were causing the errors. At this point, I examined the disk layout, and noticed that basically everything* in /{bin,sbin,lib} had been moved to /usr/{bin,sbin,lib}, and replaced with symlinks in /{bin,sbin,lib}, but /{bin,sbin,lib} still existed as real directories (not symlinks). (* - I noticed two exceptions in /lib, both of which were directories, but unfortunately I can't remember exactly what they were, and the history is beyond the top of my terminal buffer. My best guess is that they were systemd and x86_64-linux-gnu, but again, I'm not certain of that.) Since I couldn't figure out which daemon was causing the problem, I rebooted the system as suggested in the usrmerge configure error messages. It didn't come back up: it failed to start with an error that /sbin/init was not found on the disk. Oddly, however, I could run ls /sbin/init which *did* show an existing symlink and target. I tried rebooting with init=/usr/sbin/init, but that also did not work. Eventually I got the system to boot using init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd after which a dpkg --configure usrmerge completed the merge (turning /{bin,sbin/lib} into symlinks). After this, rebooting without specifying init= was successful. Please let me know if there's any other information I can provide to keep this from happening to others. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental'), (1, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.3.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages usrmerge depends on: ii libfile-find-rule-perl 0.34-1 usrmerge recommends no packages. usrmerge suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- debsums errors found: debsums: can't check usrmerge file /usr/share/doc/usrmerge/changelog.gz (Wide character in subroutine entry)
