I'm not sure whether I encountered the same issue, but let me give some ideas on debugging. If you encounter the message "This repository contains a malformed key file.", you...

Please note that a major reason for using this format is the ability to embed keys. You can now have a `Signed-by` field which contains the complete key (not just...

The back story is that `/lib64` is a file installed by the `base-files` Debian package. If systemd created it, a subsequent upgrade of `base-files` fails. At the unpack stage, `dpkg`...
