Package: udev
Version: 0.092-2
Severity: serious
Tags: help
Justification: Policy 3.9.1
Marco: filing this bug after discussion with our RMs, so that it stands out in
the upcoming BSP, and someone sends you a patch implementing this idea that
neither you nor i have time to implement.
On sunday, i tried an upgrade from sarge to sid, and as thus hit the problem
with the udev/kernel/hal&co upgrade loop.
Currently this can be solved by touching a file which will bypass this
question, and the upgrade script fails with this message. This is ugly and
non-evident, and i passed the message altogether before first reading it
(especially as it was in the middle of a 700+ package upgrade).
I discussed this with Marco on irc, and he agreed that the right thing to do
would be to use a debconf question instead of the current bit. Furthermore,
policy mandates, for sarge already, that all user interaction be done using
debconf, so this is RC anyway.
So, the problem is that the new udev needs a kernel version 2.6.12 to be
running, and fails altogether for 2.4 kernels. When detecting a 2.4 kernel is
running, udev instaklls itself, but in disabled form. When detecting the sarge
2.6.8 kernel, udev refuses to install, and if you already had part of gnome
upgraded, you are left with a mess. More detail can be found in
Bug #349354: initramfs-tools - kernel -udev dependency loop
Now, the proposed solution would be to ask this question in a debconf dialog,
inform the user that he is running 2.6.8, and either abort (as is done now,
and which stays the default), or continous the upgrade and in this case inform
the user that he should make sure to install a 2.6.12 kernel or his system may
well end up being unbootable.
Marco, once the basic setup is in place, it would be best if you polished
those dialogs to your convenience, or something, or added some toughts to this
bug report, or discussed it with the BSPer directly or something.
Friendly,
Sven Luther

Changes:
udev (0.103-1) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* New upstream release.
* permissions.rules: detect upper case Epson scanners too. (Closes: #392580)
* permissions.rules: fix the permissions of the partitions of removable
block devices. (Closes: #321642)
* permissions.rules: added lirc[0-9]* group audio. (Closes: #396841)
* permissions.rules: added rtc[0-9]* group audio. (Closes: #395160)

* persistent.rules: ignore gnbd* devices.
* persistent.rules: added links for MMC devices.
* persistent.rules: create disk/by-id/ata-* links for IDE devices
controlled by libata.
* hotplug.rules: autoload the mmc-block driver.
* hotplug.rules: do not attempt to autoload i82365 because it's broken
and may cause a modprobe loop (see #398962 for details).
* udev.rules, devfs.rules: stop suppressing creation of dm-* devices,
because they are needed by HAL. (Closes: #392623)
* udev.rules, devfs.rules: run PROGRAMs only for "add" ACTIONs.
* hotplug.rules: removed call to ide.agent from the udeb. (Closes: #396933)
* Added a new 020_id.rules file with calls to cdrom_id for the udeb.
(Closes: #400258)
* Create the kernel-upgrade flag file also in the debconf upgrade path,
or the new udevd will be started (and fail).

lowercase. (Closes: #389743)
* Set the SELinux contexts for devices created in the initramfs.
(Closes: #397528)
* Implemented no_static_dev when a initramfs is used. (Closes: #397476)
* Robustness: fixed postinst to not fail if /dev/{pts,shm}/ do not exist,
which usually should not happen. (Closes: #395136)
* Do not mention CONFIG_KOBJECT_UEVENT in README.Debian. (Closes: #399624)
* Made the init script recognize /dev/null as a valid boot-time console,
to work better with upstart (see #397002).
* New debconf templates: sv, ru, fr, da, de, eu.
