Merged /usr is now enforced by base-files 13devuan4 and handled by debootstrap
1.0.134devuan2. Both of these versions are present in ceres and excalibur:

 base-files  | 13devuan4      | excalibur  | source, all
 base-files  | 13devuan4      | unstable   | source, all
 debootstrap | 1.0.134devuan2 | excalibur  | source, all
 debootstrap | 1.0.134devuan2 | unstable   | source, all

Golinux also posted an announcement[1] on the forum.

Therefore I am closing these reports as fixed.

Hi Svante,

This sounds simple to you, but it really is not. Effectively you are
asking us to do one of three things:

a. Not move the binaries
b. Move the binaries and alternatives
c. Depends on usrmerge

Let me decline all of them with reason.

a. Doing this would imply a permanent symlink vs directory conflict for
   /bin and also causes us to continue experiencing aliasing-related
   issues. We've ruled this out early on.

b. Moving alternatives is difficult. It actually is on two levels. For
   one thing, the alternative has a name and a location. If you move the
   location of an alternative, all providers must move it at the same
   time or bad things will happen. On a technical level, this is very
   difficult to achieve and hence we recommend not doing it. Then you
   can consider moving an actual provider. Unfortunately, that path has
   become API of the alternatives system, so in moving it we break
   integrations (ansible/chef/propellor/puppet/etc). In all of this
   migration, we must ensure that user configuration is not lost. So
   we've opted to not solve this for now. I invite you to present a
   solution, but the solution you gave falls short on a number of
   problems mentioned here. So arguably wontfix is maybe too strong, but
   in effect that doesn't change what we'll be doing here: keeping
   alternatives aliased (at least for now).

c. usrmerge already is essential since bookworm. Therefore, there is an
   implicit dependency on it already and spelling out such a dependency
   is redundant. We actually want to get rid of the package before too
   long, so adding dependencies on it would make that harder to do.

Yeah, I understand it does not break your things, but I identified that
it does break other things.

That said, it's actually great to have people look into options for
moving alternatives. Keeping them aliased definitely causes unfortunate
surprises to end users, so being able to move them eventually would be
cool really. We just haven't found a good way to do it yet. What we lack
here is people coming up with a good solution and if you want to be the
one, then yes, go for it! Though please don't upload it right away and
rather discuss your solution about the alternatives preferably on
[email protected] first. Let me caution though that I very
much doubt there to be a solution that does not involve changing dpkg,
because not having a backwards-compatibility mechanism would annoy a lot
of devops people.

I wrote this! I hope the reasoning is answered given the above now.

In the end though, what I wrote doesn't change much here and I am
basically confirming Christian and Luca.  netcat-traditional cannot do
anything about this at this time. This bug is not actionable
unfortunately. I am thus closing it. Please don't continue on the netcat
side. It's a distro-wide problem and should go to [email protected].

Thanks for your understanding

Helmut

Hello,

Reopening this bug due to a deliberate attempt to fool the users: Either yo=
u move binaries _and_ configuration files=20
to /usr/bin or explicitely depend on usrmerge. And closing this bug as wont=
fix is not nice.

I've modified netcat-traditional.postinst on both usrmerged and non-usrmerg=
ed systems without problems. So your second comment b) in
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=3D1056980#15
is definitely false:

From: Chris Hofstaedtler <[[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])> =20
...
No, changing the update-alternatives call is =20
a) not necessary on /usr-merged systems, =20
b) will break on these.

No the system did not break!

Yes, I have read [https://wiki.debian.org/UsrMerge](https://wiki.debian.org=
/UsrMerge) =20

And found: =20
! Please suspend further moves temporarily. The effects of moves cause more=
 problems than anticipated=20
people are working to understand and solve them. Exceptions: Continue to pe=
rform moves that fix RC bugs
(e.g. dh_installsystemd or systemd.pc issues) and DEP17P7 mitigations for u=
dev rules.

And:
Do not update calls to update-alternatives:
- Even if you move e.g. /bin/more to /usr/bin/more, do not change the locat=
ion used in the=20
  update-alternatives invocation.
- If you add new alternatives, install them to /usr if possible.=20

And:
P4: Even when changing all aliased paths from / to /usr, you must not chang=
e the paths passed to update-alternatives
invocations that already existed in bookworm. The current plan is to keep e=
xisting alternatives aliased as a legacy
forever and add new alternatives without aliasing.=20

Who wrote this? The question is why?? All changes to packages moving files =
to /usr should also move _all_=20
corresponding configuration files to, or add an explicit dependency on usrm=
erge!

Thanks!

It means that, depspite the specifc package issues, we have to decide how to
handle it for the whole project. It will not scale to do this on a per-package
basis.

I think that was the reluctant conclusion we came to last time it was
discussed. But I am prepared to be corrected.

Maybe I should have written "will (probably) be forked by Devuan"
Nevertheless, reassigning the bugs 810, 812 and 813 to devuan-project means
what? Do we continue the discussion or is the project decision that all pac=
kages
coming from Debian showing this foul play will silently be hidden by a
recommendation to install usrmerge on Devuan/Ceres/Excalibur?

In my opinion this is to give up on their dictatorship! See further comment=
s
below!

Svante,

I am not sure either of these assertions is agreed Devuan policy.

Arthur,

Installing usrmerge should fix this which Devuan has inherited (however
unwelcome that may be) from Debian. See[1] for a fuller explanation.

Reassigning and merging.

Mark

You should not be forced to install usrmerge in a Devuan system. That packa=
ge
will be forked by Devuan.

FYI: You can always revert the usrmerge installation with dpkg-fsys-usrunme=
ss!

Of course this is related to usrmerge in our upstream distro, and is
solved once you `apt-get install usrmerge` which was blocked for me
until I also ran:

    sudo rm -f /lib/udev/rules.d/99-libsane1.rules
/lib/udev/rules.d/60-libsane1.rules /lib/udev/hwdb.d/20-sane.hwdb

For some reason. Now of course these steps don't actually fix
netcat-traditional itself for a non-merged system, but it does allow
the package to finish installing.
