Very unimpressed with the so called "fix" for #842145 of just blocking
running the script on nfs mount rather than fixing the script to work
properly with nfs.
The problem with the script is that it does not ignore the .nfs*
files. An explanation of these files is available here:

Almost. It's not *one* Debian

Still going on with this?
Have you actually looked at those two files:
/lib/udev/rules.d/60-libsane1.rules and
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/60-libsane1.rules

No it does not. I just confirmed, the only choices are raw disk

Hi,
I'm in the process of upgrading my Debian stable hosts and run into
a problem with usrmerge:

Warning: NFS detected, /usr/lib/usrmerge/convert-usrmerge will not be run
automatically. See #842145 for details.
E: usrmerge failed.
