Control: tags -1 - moreinfo Hi,
thanks for the extra information. Especially the history.log contains most of the versions at play. I have given it some attempts to reproduce the problem (in particular going to bookworm, upgrading to your dpkg version and then completing the dist upgrade to unstable), but I was entirely unsuccessful reproducing the failure thus far. I must be missing something relevant still. I need to attempt reproducing your full package set next, but cannot do so right now. If you happen to have a backup, you may support us by try to narrow a reproducer yourself. Consider extracting to a directory, removing as many packages as possible (without removing essential ones), taking a copy of the resulting tree (without user data such as /home or /etc) and reperforming the failed upgrade. If that happens to error out, handing us the said tree (privately) would help. Other than that my questions about filesystems and how / looked before the upgrade could also provide important clues to reproduce. Thank you Helmut
