And will keep doing it if you are on Excalibur and till all that complex software you need catches up with this last Debian craze.

### You may want to consider patiently waiting it out till that happens ###.

ie: get out the backup* you made before the dist-upgrade and roll back to your last working non [usr-merge] Daedalus.
You will then be able to use that software you need once again, just like before.
* you have one, right? 8^°

As for me, I will (most) probably freeze my box at Daedalus using backṕorts (both kernels and packages) till it achieves [oldoldstable] status.
That should be in (maybe) three or four years in the future.
Five if I strech it a bit more? 8^°

In the meanwhile, I will think about what is going / has gone on in that time span and attempt to elucidate how to proceed.
No idea where we will be at that point.
There may no longer be a Debian.

I may not even care.

Best,

I see. So basically anything debian-based is well and truly f↓¢ĸed. Because half the complex software not backed by huge corpos and donations have produced that same symbol lookup error so far.
Last in date, qemu.
qemu-img: symbol lookup error: qemu-img: undefined symbol: gnutls_anon_free_client_credentials, version GNUTLS_3_4

Funnily enough, I got this while trying to set up voidlinux in a virtualbox to try to something else, and because my linux install ended laughably badly... with nothing working as intended without a ton of config. People claiming voidlinux comes with sane default should have his head examined.
Seems to me the whole linux world either caters to normies, corporate shills or neckbeards with a superiority complex and insanely intolerant ideology.

Probably your system does not link together /lib and /usr/lib

If so, the searchable keyword is usrmerge

Not my idea.

Hi guys,
I used to have that program, an incredibly useful, fast and intuitive subtitle editor. Irreplaceable. I installed the version from the package, now it won't run.
I'd really like to know why about a third of all the programs i install do something like that. Isn't it the point of a package manager, to pull over all the required dependencies ?

my system:Linux 84-47-09-37-40-34 6.12.57+deb13-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.12.57-1 (2025-11-05) x86_64 GNU/Linux
