[Bug 1993943] Re: package usrmerge 25ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: installed usrmerge package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

[Lucas Weel]

Hello Dan and William,

I have changed my /usr/lib setup according to William's example.
Dit the following:

$ mv /usr/lib/ld-linux.so.2 /usr/lib/ld-linux.old.so.2 # set aside a copy.
$ ln -s /usr/lib/ld-linux.so.2 i386-linux-gnu/ld-linux.so.2 # Expected the original file lived there
# This turned out be be not that greate. Because it apperently created an infinate link.

# When I tried to install the usrmerge package again.
$ sudo apt intall usrmerge

# The install proces automatically repaired the faulty symbolic links to /usr/lib/ld-linux.old.so.2
# and the installation proces ended succesfully.

# Apperently the /usr/lib/ld-linux.so.2 was the correct and original file.
# So I removed the /usr/lib/ld-linux.so.2 symbolic link and renamed the /usr/lib/ld-linux.old.so.2 back to its original name /usr/lib/ld-linux.so.2
$ rm /usr/lib/ld-linux.so.2
$ mv /usr/lib/ld-linux.old.so.2

# After a reboot, al looks to work correctly. And the usrmerge package install, reports no more errors and is in it's most recent version.
# Not clear why the error tripped in the first place.
 
Up to fix the next problem. Wired network access. Apperently not related to this problem.
