This is the part where you show us the error messages from the log files that support your claims. Or, simply file a bug report, include said error messages in the bug report, and tell us here on debian-user the bug number, with a warning that other users may encounter the same issues if they perform the usrmerge step. > I am trying tonight, an exclude scheme that should stop the crashing if > indeed that is what is doing it.

I could very easily see amanda itself breaking from usrmerge, if it contains programs that try to invoke commands using their full paths (e.g. /bin/rm -f ...). That would be a bug in amanda, easily diagnosed, and... maybe fixed, maybe not, Debian developers have a long history of not fixing things. But your claim that this causes the entire *system* to crash is an extraordinary assertion, which requires at least a TEENY TINY BIT of proof.
