Re: [SOLVED] Can't install linux-image-amd64

I ran into this issue today:

Installing excalibur with debootstrap 1.0.128+nmu2devuan2 in daedalus fails with --merged-usr and works without it.

Installing excalibur with debootstrap 1.0.134devuan2 from daedalus-proposed-updates works with or without --merged-usr

Hopefully with time this mess will go away. Thanks again

Yes, that's due to the infamous "usrmerge" nonsense of Debian... they are in the process of moving stuff from /bin into /usr/bin because they think that everyone has set up links like /bin -> /usr/bin... and more. Web searching will tell.

You could have used --merged-usr for debootstrap and it would have configured the root filesystem with those stupid-links.

To come to there afterwards involves some manual copying hands-on and in particular a serious quirk in order to change /lib/ to a link without losing sight of the elf loader (e.g. /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2).

I added --merged-usr to the debootstrap command and it worked.
Thank you!

More usr-merge borkage (esp. post #32). To be expected running unstable right now.
Merge your usr directories, or manually symlink the missing binaries (and expect to have to keep doing that until an official word on this comes down).
