Bug report #19758

Processing: merge vector layers produces duplicated fid

Description

Here's how to reproduce the bug:

1. Add the 3 layers from the attached GeoPackage (pol.gpkg)
2. Open the merge vector layers tool in Processing, choose the 3 layers and save to a temporary layer
3. The resulting layer has features with the same fid, and hence can't be saved to a new GeoPackage without manually editing the fid values
4. Alternatively if you save directly to GeoPackage (instead of using a temporary layer), the tool produces a wrong output

A similar bug happens with other tools (see #19708). This fid problem makes Processing almost unusable with GeoPackages.

I agree this an annoying consequence of having moved to geopackage outputs by default.
