Years ago, when converting my Debian system to usr-merge, I went one step
further and symlinked /usr/bin to /usr/sbin.
Running `ls -ld /{usr/,}{bin,sbin,lib}` gives:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 4 Nov 2018 /bin -> usr/bin
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 4 Nov 2018 /lib -> usr/lib
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 4 Nov 2018 /sbin -> usr/sbin
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 253952 25 Sep 12:40 /usr/bin
drwxr-xr-x 119 root root 20480 25 Sep 12:34 /usr/lib
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 20 Jul 13:20 /usr/sbin -> bin
Because the is_merged function in usr-is-merged.preinst finds the target of
/bin or /sbin with `readlink -f` it does not realize that /sbin does indeed
point at /usr/sbin.
I have overridden the error for now by using the
/etc/unsupported-skip-usrmerge-conversion escape, but I think that this is in
fact an error in usr-is-merged. The requirement, as I understand it, is that
/sbin is a symlink to /usr/sbin, which is true here.
Regards,
Victor Westerhuis
