Package: systemd Version: 257.9-1~deb13u1 Tags: trixie I'm working with Debian 13 (Trixie) on a Windows machine. Debian was installed via Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). When I run `apt-get upgrade` I receive the error shown below.
The machine uses WSL v1. I cannot convert to WSL v2 due to company policy. WSL v2 is considered too risky due to lack of security controls for some operations. There's a good Q&A on Super User about the problem: <https://superuser.com/q/1803992>. One person identified the problem: <https://superuser.com/a/1805742>. Another person's answer seems very relevant: <https://superuser.com/a/1912487>. In the answer, the poster says: The simplest fix is to just disable error-checking on calls to systemd-sysusers so it doesn't prevent the post-install scripts from completing. This can be done with the following command... Debian should consider ignoring failures in calls `fcntl(F_OFD_SETLKW)`. Or, go back to the old `fcntl(F_SETLKW)`. Or another workaround? ---------- $ sudo apt-get upgrade ... Reading package lists... Building dependency tree... Reading state information...
