reopen 365224 thanks OK, --purge removing udev, removing /etc/udev, and then installing udev back generated a new rules.d that does link to cd-aliases-generator.rules. All cd* links as well as a dvd link are now created correctly. Haven't rebooted yet, so haven't tested consistency.
A few problems remain though: 1. The dvdrw link is no longer being created. It should be created and should point to the DVD writer device node. 2. The reason I had to --purge remove and then install is that simply removing /etc/udev and then running apt-get --reinstall install udev produced an /etc/udev directory with the only entry in it being an empty /etc/udev/rules.d directory. Seems like a bug to me. 3. Since I did not mess with /etc/udev or anything under it in any way, and always let udev use its default rules, I would have expected udev install scripts to update the old defaults to the new defaults when those changed. This obviously did not happen. Seems like a bug too. 4. When installing udev back, at configuration stage I got a bunch of errors like sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `,.*' sh: -c: line 0: `th1s/.*[[:space:],]NAME="(eth0)"[[:space:]]*(,.*|\|)$/1/p' repeated a few dozen times. Items 2 through 4 are not directly related to $SUBJ, so feel free to do what you like with them. Item 1 is moderately important I think. Your effort is appreciated. -- Kirill -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
