[pve-devel] trousers error in latest test repo?

[Victor Hooi]

Hi,

I just installed a new box (Intel NUC7i5BNK) with Proxmox 7.0-2, and then
ran an apt update/dist-upgrade, using the PVE test repos:

There seems to be some error whilst upgrading some "trousers" module:

However, this also then causes issues when attempting to finalise other
packages as well:

Does anybody know what this is?

Is it related to this? (Apparently an error in the init.d script - although
I'm not sure where this script comes from)
