Package: usrmerge
Version: 35
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

On upgrading Alpha system with the package libc6.1-alphaev67 installed
when installing usrmerge the following occurred:

Setting up usrmerge (35) ...
cp: cannot create regular file '/usr/lib/alpha-linux-gnu/ev67/libc.so.6.1': No 
such file or directory

FATAL ERROR:
cp --no-dereference --preserve=all --reflink=auto --sparse=always 
/lib/alpha-linux-gnu/ev67/libc.so.6.1 
/usr/lib/alpha-linux-gnu/ev67/libc.so.6.1: rc=1

You can try correcting the errors reported and running again
/usr/lib/usrmerge/convert-usrmerge until it will complete without errors.
Do not install or update other Debian packages until the program
has been run successfully.

E: usrmerge failed.
dpkg: error processing package usrmerge (--configure):
 installed usrmerge package post-installation script subprocess returned error 
exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 usrmerge


On examining the directory /usr/lib/alpha-linux-gnu/ I see ev4 and ev5
directories but no ev67 directory.  Presumably the copy of the ev67
tuned libc6.1 library failed because the target directory did not exist.

I manually made the ev67 directory in /usr/lib/alpha-linux-gnu/ and
reran the usrmerge installation and it then completed successfully.

Regards,
Michael.
