Hi,
The util-linux-ng project has been renamed back to util-linux.
Huge -1 on this one.
I just hosed my system during an upgrade, trimmed log below. The
explanation- when we do replaces in pacman, we do all of the removes
upfront. This is by no means ideal, we should fix this, but it isn't
happening tomorrow. So during this upgrade where both the kernel and
util-linux are being installed, we have a period of time where the
util-linux utilities are not on the system, we try to generate our
initrd, and then we fail to locate the blkid binary. I didn't even see
this until I rebooted and got dropped to a shell; thankfully the
rootfstype parameter exists.
I can guarantee we get bug reports if we let this situation make its
way to core; I'm not sure what the solution is but this definitely
doesn't work as is.
as a temporally solution, i think we should bump dependency for
mkinitcpio to util-linux>=2.19 and to kernel26/lts to mkinitcpio>=fixed ?
