Hi list, Note: I an _not_ subscribed, so you need to CC me.
Yesterday, we upgraded 5 workstations from woody to sarge. gnome-desktop-environment depends indirectly on udev, so that package is pulled in also. However, you will get a nagscreen then during upgrade: | udev is not configured to use devfs-style devices. | | Your system WILL BREAK if you run udev with its default configuration. | | Please refer to /usr/share/doc/udev/README.Debian for more information | on how to configure udev for devfs-style naming. (Without a 'cancel' button of course) IMHO, it's weird at best that upgrading GNOME will break your system, due to the current configuration of the /dev files. Whether or not GNOME has any business forcing udev on you is debatable, but I think udev should simply fail gracefully to start unless configured correctly. I didn't dare to have any system rebooted yet, but fear for the results, that this upgrade caused our systems to become unbootable. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
