Apparently, you, or someone else on your machine, or some script you
ran as root, followed the OPAM installation procedure for Debian
described here:
https://opam.ocaml.org/doc/Install.html#Debian
The conclusion is "don't do that if you're not running Debian". There
are other ways of installing OPAM, described on this page, that should
work with whatever distro you feel like using.
At any rate, this has nothing to do with OCaml itself, and not much
with OPAM, so let's take this discussion off caml-list.
