If pcs is built on a merged-/usr system (as created by new installations of Debian >= 10, debootstrap --merged-usr, or installing the usrmerge package into an existing installation), then the paths to systemctl and rm are recorded in the binary package as being in /usr/bin, rather than the canonical /bin. This can be seen on the reproducible-builds.org infra: https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/diffoscope-results/pcs.html If you have sbuild available, an easy way to reproduce this is to build twice, once with --add-depends=usrmerge and once without. The problematic situation is if the package is *built* on a unified-/usr system, but *used* on a non-unified-/usr system. In this situation, /usr/bin/rm, etc. exist on the build system but not on the system where the package will be used, resulting in the features that use these executables not working correctly. Technical Committee resolution #978636 mandates heading towards a transition to merged-/usr, and this will become a non-issue at the end of that transition; but variation between merged-/usr and non-merged-/usr builds is a problem while that transition is taking place, because it can lead to partial upgrades behaving incorrectly. It is likely that this class of bugs will become release-critical later in the bookworm development cycle. The attached patch resolves this by specifying the paths that work for both merged-/usr and non-merged-/usr. A side benefit of fixing this is that this change seems likely to be sufficient to make the package reproducible (as recommended by Policy ยง4.15). smcv
