This is why the program warned you when failing: Do not install or update other Debian packages until the program has been run successfully. I am not sure about what other practical solutions are available. I am downgrading this bug because this is a documented behaviour. Also, I cannot find any duplicated files in keepalived: but if it is incompatible for real then I want to send a patch to the maintainer and make usrmerge conflict with the older versions. -- ciao, Marco
