Package: usr-is-merged Version: 30 When trying to debootstrap testing or unstable for arm64 I get the following false-negative from the usr-is-merged package (which gets injected by debootstrap):
Selecting previously unselected package usr-is-merged. Preparing to unpack .../usr-is-merged_29_all.deb ... ****************************************************************************** * * The usr-is-merged package cannot be installed because this system does * not have a merged /usr. * * Please install the usrmerge package to convert this system to merged-/usr. * * For more information please read https://wiki.debian.org/UsrMerge. * ****************************************************************************** dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/usr-is-merged_29_all.deb (--unpack): new usr-is-merged package pre-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1 The same works fine on amd64. I did a bit of debugging of the preinst script and it appears what trips it up is the /lib64 symlink, which on arm64 points to: /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu While on amd64 to: /usr/lib64 Note that I am not entirely certain the bug is in usr-is-merged and not in whomever creates the /lib64 symlink (I suspect debootstrap).
