Hmm... strange, why does this not work for me? Although libc6:amd64.list is expanded with these lines, dkpg --unpack still fails with the same error message from the bug report...

It also means that usrmerge broke those checks but we didn't notice it until now... I wonder if the best is to just remove all those checks in libc6.preinst. After all they haven't been useful all those years, although we also got a few bugs report about broken systems for which we don't know the cause and that might have been prevented by working checks. -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 4096R/1DDD8C9B aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I'm having the same problem. It's caused by the package *usrmerge*, that installed the symlinks: ``` % ls -l /*(@) lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Mär 7 2019 /bin -> usr/bin lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Mär 7 2019 /lib -> usr/lib lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Mär 7 2019 /lib32 -> usr/lib32 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Mär 7 2019 /lib64 -> usr/lib64 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Mär 7 2019 /libx32 -> usr/libx32 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Mär 7 2019 /sbin -> usr/sbin ``` Regards Jörg -- Habe Mut, dich deines eigenen Verstandes zu bedienen! – Immanuel Kant signature.asc Description: PGP signature
