I am not even sure that this is still an issue: Michael Biebl and me did a few tests (Debian 10, testing and Ubuntu 20.04) and convert-usrmerge never failed. Is anybody actually able to reproduce that on a Debian >= 10 system? Again, nothing bad will happen if you try and trigger that code path: just follow the instructions that will tell you to reboot the system and then run convert-usrmerge again. -- ciao, Marco
