Package: alsa-utils Version: 1.0.10-1 Severity: important Tags: patch Hello,
Reading alsa-utils postinst script, it seems that is recreate the udev symlink on each upgrade. According to /usr/share/doc/udev/README.Debian: "MAINTAINERS BEWARE: the use of /etc/udev/rules.d/ by other packages is discouraged, except when only RUN rules are added. If you think your package needs to create a file there, then please contact the udev package maintainer and explain your needs. Packages should NEVER create files in /etc/udev/rules.d/, but create a symlink the first time the package is installed (and never try again, to allow the local system administrator to remove it)." The patch attached should fix this bug. Cheers, -- Julien Danjou // <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://julien.danjou.info // 9A0D 5FD9 EB42 22F6 8974 C95C A462 B51E C2FE E5CD
