Package: usrmerge
Version: 35
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I tried to upgrade debian to Debian 12 from Debian 11 on a Linode VPS.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Cannot upgrade because of usrmerge failing, both during an apt-get dist-upgrade
or running /usr/lib/usrmerge/convert-usrmerge manually.
* What was the outcome of this action?
FATAL ERROR:
Can't close(GLOB(0x564e905c3aa0)) filehandle: '' at
/usr/lib/usrmerge/convert-usrmerge line 222
You can try correcting the errors reported and running again
/usr/lib/usrmerge/convert-usrmerge until it will complete without errors.
Do not install or update other Debian packages until the program
has been run successfully.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Maybe tell me what I need to do to resolve the problem, I've tried to go down
to telinit 1 in order to stop as many processes as possible but the error still
occurs.
I don't know how to close/kill a GLOB.
I do note that the GLOB address seems to change each time I run it so I'm not
sure it's as simple as running a command to resolve the problem.
