very interesting indeed, I mainly tested on a cluster that was installed with PVE
6.2 and a development VM that was originally a Bullseye pre-release ISO, it worked
out OK on both.

Hmm first I thought that could be the "stop-before-upgrade" of the old, broken
version, but that makes not much sense as your error is on a "start".
Did you edit `/etc/init.d/trousers` before the upgrade?

And could you please still try `apt install --reinstall trousers` to verify if
it was that.

Well yes, that was an issue with the old version, it checked that in a wrong way.
But the newer, just uploaded package adapted that part, which was also tested by
creating and dropping a fake /deb/tmp1 node, so it should work out.

Or do you have a node?

ls -l /dev/tmp*
