Thank you, I didn't know about mixing "dist-upgrade" command with "purge"! Now the system is really in a clean state with only debian12 packages installed. Is it? Remember that apt doesn’t know about leftover conffiles. Try: dpkg -l | grep -v ^ii | cut -c 1-$COLUMNS Yes, it is :) I run similar commands during the cleanup when we noticed the gnutls problem. All non debian12 packages are now purged. Just to be sure that there really isn't any leftover or manually added file which could interfere in some unexpected ways I even feeded all files through dpkg. -- Regards, Thomas

Is it? Remember that apt doesn’t know about leftover conffiles. Try: dpkg -l | grep -v ^ii | cut -c 1-$COLUMNS This ought to show only the header and perhaps “held” packages (first column “hi”); if it also shows “rc” in the first column then you have leftover conffiles, which indeed can cause trouble; run “dpkg --purge pkgname pkgname…” to clean them up. bye, //mirabilos -- Infrastrukturexperte • tarent solutions GmbH Am Dickobskreuz 10, D-53121 Bonn • http://www.tarent.de/ Telephon +49 228 54881-393 • Fax: +49 228 54881-235 HRB AG Bonn 5168 • USt-ID (VAT): DE122264941 Geschäftsführer: Dr. Stefan Barth, Kai Ebenrett, Boris Esser, Alexander Steeg /⁀\ The UTF-8 Ribbon ╲ ╱ Campaign against Mit dem tarent-Newsletter nichts mehr verpassen: ╳ HTML eMail!

You did upgrade to Debian 10, then Debian 11, in the middle, right? Otherwise your system is now completely unsupportable and you will have to clean up the resulting mess yourself. Skipping releases in an upgrade was *never* supported, and it’s documented in basically every place… bye, //mirabilos -- Infrastrukturexperte • tarent solutions GmbH Am Dickobskreuz 10, D-53121 Bonn • http://www.tarent.de/ Telephon +49 228 54881-393 • Fax: +49 228 54881-235 HRB AG Bonn 5168 • USt-ID (VAT): DE122264941 Geschäftsführer: Dr. Stefan Barth, Kai Ebenrett, Boris Esser, Alexander Steeg /⁀\ The UTF-8 Ribbon ╲ ╱ Campaign against Mit dem tarent-Newsletter nichts mehr verpassen: ╳ HTML eMail!

Hi, I saw that message today while upgrading bookworm RC3 to RC4: [...] Setting up console-setup-linux (1.221) ... insserv: FATAL: service mountkernfs has to be enabled to use service keyboard-setup.sh [...] Note: The system was recently upgraded from Debian 8 (without systemd) to Debian 9 (where I switched to systemd) to Debian 12. In my case it looks like insserv was a leftover of $ aptitude why insserv i chkconfig Recommends insserv I purged both packages. -- Regards, Thomas
