Hi, i yesterday was trying to dist-upgraded my alpha with lenny to unstable, and exactly same problem occured to me.
It is releated to inotify_init1(int flags) function. It was added in 2.6.27 at kernel level. I looked at buildd logs at https://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=udev&arch=alpha&ver=166-1&stamp=1297547074&file=log&as=raw and saw this: ... libc6.1-dev: already installed (2.11.2-11 >= 2.9 is satisfied) linux-libc-dev: already installed (2.6.32-30 >= 2.6.29 is satisfied) ... ... CCLD udev/udevd udev/udev-watch.o: In function `udev_watch_init': /build/buildd-udev_166-1-alpha-wgmohC/udev-166/build-deb/../udev/udev-watch.c:41: warning: warning: inotify_init1 is not implemented and will always fail ... It is strange, becuase i inspected kernel/fs/notify/inotify_user.c, and inotify_init1 is there for very long. And nothing alpha specific. Maybe it is more a libc6 problem? This would explain why there is no inotify_* in strace, and warning when compiling. I would suggest reassigning this bug to eglibc. According to eglibc sources inotify_init1 was added in GLIBC_2.9 (2008-07-24). My version of libc is 2.11.2-13 AFAIK. In build log for 2.11.2-13 https://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=eglibc&arch=alpha&ver=2.11.2-13&stamp=1298915439&file=log&as=raw I found this ...
