It first renames the canonicalized path wrongly renames an aliased askpass. However, it also depends on the canonicalized cryptsetup so by the time its postinst runs, the wrongly moved file is overwritten by the cryptsetup update and things are fine again. > * debian-installer-utils Open https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/debian-installer-utils/-/merge_requests/11 > * isc-dhcp Not affected in a non-obvious way. It does the duplicate dpkg-divert --add --rename and therefore moves an aliased file to the wrong location in its preinst. However, the diverting package also depends on a version of the divertee that is canonicalized. The upgrade of the divertee will clobber the wrongly moved file and after postinst the effects are ok. This kinda is the simplified case in m18_diversions.sh. > * molly-guard Open. #1093132.

Aparently, I understood this back in March 2024 and then failed to transfer what I learned to other packages. :-( https://salsa.debian.org/debian/piuparts/-/commit/1b9a3843964b42b983921a1b011f14d61e430944 > * progress-linux-metapackages Open #1092956.

So this hopefully concludes the mess as I am not aware of any other affected cases. What this does not handle is the breakage left behind trixie or sid systemd that have taken all intermediate steps. If you find that you have any files named *.usr-is-merged, that's a bad sign and you may reach out to me. My focus has been fixing the bookworm -> trixie upgrade, but we may also handle unstable upgrades if that happens to affect non-trivial amounts of users. Helmut
