--- Begin Message ---Hello. Thanks a lot for the report. I'm hereby forwarding it to Helmut Grohne, who did the latest usrmerge changes. I see "Foreign Architectures: i386", maybe that could be a factor for this problem to be more likely to happen. Also, I wonder if running unstable and not upgrading in a long time, given the t64 transition which has not finished yet, could be slightly more dangerous than upgrading to the testing of the day first (in a similar way that we do not support upgrades which skip releases, like buster to bookworm, or bullseye to trixie). Thanks. -------- Mensaje reenviado -------- Asunto: Bug#1076491: base-files: file clash with libc6 Fecha: Wed, 17 Jul 2024 07:46:14 +0200 De: Oswald Buddenhagen <oswald.buddenha...@gmx.de> Responder a: Oswald Buddenhagen <oswald.buddenha...@gmx.de>, 1076...@bugs.debian.org Para: Debian Bug Tracking System <sub...@bugs.debian.org> Package: base-files Version: 13.3 Severity: important while upgrading the system after a rather long time, this happened: # apt dist-upgrade ...
