Package: udev Version: 0.091-2 Severity: important When upgrading from sarge to etch, udev simply refuses to install because of the kernel version, and asks the user to create a file in /etc/udev, after which the upgrade proceeds fine. This is utterly annoying because it happens even on a freshly installed sarge system.
If the purpose is to prevent having udev on a kernel < 2.6.12, this makes sense, but there are better ways to do this than entirely refusing to upgrade. For example, udev could depend on linux-image-2.6. (This would even help in reducing the number of users breaking their systems with custom kernel images.) In all cases, it would be better to have a big debconf warning asking to reboot right after the upgrade (like the kernel already does in some cases) than the current procedure which requires two reboots and many package removals if you don't create that file. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
