Package: usrmerge Version: 31 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: none
Dear Maintainer, When installing usrmerge on Debian Bookworm under the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) 1.0, installation fails at the setup stage. **This bug effectively breaks the entire install of Debian Bookworm on WSL 1.0**, because usrmerge is now a required dependency of the essential/system-critical package init-system-helpers, as of version 1.65~exp1 through the current version (1.65.2) of that package. I suspect the cause of this issue is related to the fact that WSL 1.0 uses a Microsoft-provided kernel for all Linux distributions that run on WSL 1.0. WSL 2.0 allows the use of the actual distribution's kernel, because it uses the Hyper-V hypervisor on the host Windows operating system. However, WSL 2.0 is not an option for me (and I assume many others), who use other virtualization products on Windows, or use a cloud-hosted virtual Windows desktop, such as AWS Workspaces or C itrix. -- Setting up usrmerge (31) ... mv: cannot move '/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/security' to '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/security': Permission denied FATAL ERROR: mv --no-clobber /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/security /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/security: rc=1 You can try correcting the errors reported and running again /usr/lib/usrmerge/convert-usrmerge until it will complete without errors.
