Bug#1105811: AMD64: Unavailable to upgrade without libx32
From Santiago Vila@21:1/5 to All on Sun May 18 13:40:01 2025
Hi.
Would it make sense that the special protections in preinst
preinst are only done when upgrading from a version < 13.4,
which is the version in which some directories became
symlinks and vice-versa?
This would have the advantage that in cases like this
one the upgrade would happen as normal without prompting
the user (the dangling symlink would continue to be
a dangling symlink).
The con would be that an anomaly of the x32 setup would
remain hidden.
I think it would be correct to assume that most people who
will execute the preinst will do so when upgrading from
bookworm to trixie, so I would agree that the difference
between those two options would be quite small.
