    Maybe I was better off reinstalling, indeed, but I prefer to properly plan/prepare for it.
    This is why the conversion procedure stopped.
    Then you started thinkering with your system to "fix" it and did worse.

    It'd help me if, at least, usrmerge printed the number of duplicates and sym links. Maybe with a more explicit error message, indicating what to do, "we strongly advise to reinstall your system", "remove duplicates, but be
    careful of symlinks", or whatever.
    This does not happen frequently enough (only you reported this) to
    justify investing development resources.
