Here is a patch to remove the installkernel files from the debianutils package to avoid a conflict:

An update to core/systemd 259-2 is prevented by debianutils, as both contain the files /usr/bin/installkernel and /usr/share/man/man8/installkernel.8.gz.

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
systemd: /usr/bin/installkernel exists in filesystem (owned by debianutils)
systemd: /usr/share/man/man8/installkernel.8.gz exists in filesystem (owned by debianutils)

@attention_horse, I accidentally flagged this with wrong version, because I saw on the old qa page that it was latest http://packages.qa.debian.org/d/debianutils.html

attention_horse commented on 2024-09-18 14:08 (UTC)

I don't see why this is flagged out-of-date. The current stable package provided by Debian is 5.7-0.5~deb12u1.

If this flag should stay than at least this package should be updated to the version provided by Debian testing or unstable (both 5.20) (see package tracker for details) and not 5.17, as stated in the out-of-flag notice.

@ragreener1 thanks for the catch. Upstream seems to be inconsistent with the naming, so I will have to remember to double check future releases. I have restored the versioned path support which was removed in the previous release.

Rel 2 should work for you now.

This currently doesn't build. This fixes it.

@mardiros did not work when not using a keyserver.

gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv 8C004C2F93481F6B

to retrieve the key

Version 4.9.1 results in a 404 error, should be updated to 4.11.2.

sanerb commented on 2019-10-10 03:57 (UTC)

fixed... the version disappeared, but upgraded to 4.9 anyways.

This package is not working. http://http.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/debianutils/debianutils_4.8.6.3.tar.xz gives me a 404 error.
