Some issues with latest "apt -update": warning: This system uses merged-usr-via-aliased-dirs
The latest round of updates, both on amd64 and arm64, get me this error message:
Code:

The URL indicated in the error message suggests some ways of fixing this, but obviously I'm not going to do this without knowing if I'm going to mess up kali's assumptions in the process...
Should this error be ignored, or what's the proper course of action, here?
