It's not *one* Debian installation, it's many (diskless workstations PXE boot). Each host has it's own root on the NFS. Some stuff is shared, but that's not relevant here. > - You're trying to do an upgrade to Debian 12 running on one of the > clients.

But on all others it throws errors. Either relating to NFS being not supported or because of duplicate files. > If so, have you tried reporting a bug on this yet? No I haven't. As far as I understand it's a known issue and the developer has decided to just have the script fail on NFS. > If you don't get anywhere with that, I don't think you have much > choice except to take away the root directory tree to a Linux host, > chroot into it and complete the merge there, then pack it up again > and bring it back to your NFS server. Which is very far from ideal. I'll try to solve the conflicts manually. If that fails, that's what I have to do, I guess. I didn't expect that level of fiddling with system files for a simple upgrade. But hey, here we are now. > The suggestions about running a VM on the NFS server probably aren't > going to work as you won't be able to take the directory tree out of > use and export it as a block device to the VM.

I won't do that. I don't speak Perl and will not rewrite the usrmerge script. Marco
