Package: apt Version: 2.7.5 Severity: important
Once again we have a package that some people consider broken. That's natural, disagreements happen. That apt insists on a bad scheme not supported by dpkg has been said about elsewhere. Normally, that would be solvable by a simple downgrade. Except, in this case, apt refuses to do this: # apt install apt=2.7.3 apt-utils=2.7.3 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done Suggested packages: apt-doc The following packages will be DOWNGRADED: apt apt-utils 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 2 downgraded, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded. E: /bin resolved to a different inode than /usr/bin E: Unmerged usr is no longer supported, install usrmerge to continue. N: See https://www.debian.org/releases/bookworm/amd64/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#a-merged-usr-is-now-required for more details. As you can see, the action I requested specifically solves the problem, yet apt considers it no good. Thus, I'd need to take steps that are not obvious to a regular user, and for this specific package risky to break the system if done wrong. Thus, apt should consider an operation that touches apt itself to be another exception for the usrmerge demand.
