sudo sbuild-update -udcar -u
* What was the outcome of this action?
Preparing to unpack .../usr-is-merged_38_all.deb ...

*
*The usr-is-merged package cannot be installed because this system does

* What outcome did you expect instead?
A silent upgrade of usr-is-merged from v37 to v38.
I have been using sbuild and schroot for ~3 months and this is the first
time I have had this error – so I assume it is related to the new v38
package. My schroot contains the file
/etc/unsupported-skip-usrmerge-conversion – presumably because it uses
overlayfs. This prevents me installing usrmerge manually and fixing the
broken upgrade. I assume what is supposed to happen is that usr-is-merged
is supposed to upgrade silently, having clocked the /etc/unsupported- file
and accepted that this system is not going to do the merge.
Grateful for any tips that will allow me to resume using sbuild and
schroot.
Thanks
Chris
