Package: libipmimonitoring6 Version: 1.6.3-1.1 When upgrading using apt dist-upgrade from stretch to buster the following happened for me:

Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/libipmimonitoring6_1.6.3-1.1_amd64.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) (the nut-ipmi stuff above is unrelated; this is a straight copy of the output) Fixing this with apt install -f fixed the problem for me by replacing the package properly and the following rerun of dist-upgrade ran all the way through, but since it halts the dist-upgrade it is still a bit unplesant. Maybe the new package should have a Conflicts header? Thanks Best regards Morten
