/var/mail has been a link for 20 years already. If it's a directory in your system it's probably a local modification you have there.
bw-wst021:/ # ls -l /var/spool/mail lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Sep 14 11:44 /var/spool/mail -> ../mail
That's unrelated to usrmerge. Rename the directory /var/mail to something else
I have tried this suggestion out in a configured chroot environment a moment ago. bw-wst021:/ # mv /var/spool/mail /var/spool/mail-20210914 bw-wst021:/ # zypper update filesystem ��� Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... Resolving package dependencies... The following package is going to be upgraded: filesystem 1 package to upgrade. Overall download size: 0 B. Already cached: 66.5 KiB. After the operation, additional 31.0 B will be used. Continue?

so the filesystem package installation can add it as symlink again.
bw-wst021:/ # ls -l /var/spool/mail total 0 Will this system configuration detail trigger any further adjustments? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
