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.
