Package: dpkg Version: 1.20.7.1 Severity: important On EFI computer it is possible to use the ESP partition directly as /boot. But dpkg has problems to upgrade packages, e.g. the linux-image packages, then since it tries to create hardlinks as backup of existing files. This is not supported for FAT32 partitions.
dpkg should include some check if the target device systems may not support hard links so /boot on FAT32 is supported. -- Package-specific info: System tainted due to merged-usr-via-aliased-dirs. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU threads) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages dpkg depends on: ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.8-4 ii libc6 2.31-9 ii liblzma5 5.2.5-1.0 ii libselinux1 3.1-2+b2 ii tar 1.32+dfsg-1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.11.dfsg-2 dpkg recommends no packages.
