G'day all,
I use a self-compiled kernel (v5.10) at the moment.
An Ascii to Beowulf upgrade died early on because the eudev preinst script
isn't correctly parsing /proc/kallsyms.
Preparing to unpack .../25-eudev_3.2.9-8~beowulf1_amd64.deb ...
Since release 198, udev requires support for the following features in
the running kernel:
- inotify(2) (CONFIG_INOTIFY_USER)
- signalfd(2) (CONFIG_SIGNALFD)
- accept4(2)
- open_by_handle_at(2) (CONFIG_FHANDLE)
- timerfd_create(2) (CONFIG_TIMERFD)
- epoll_create(2) (CONFIG_EPOLL)
dpkg: error processing archive
/tmp/apt-dpkg-install-PJCPSM/25-eudev_3.2.9-8~beowulf1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
new eudev package pre-installation script subprocess returned error exit
status 1
Just got stung again by this one, this time upgrading an ascii 64 bit rpi3
image to beowulf while using a 5.10 kernel provided by the rpi foundation.
This time I just unpacked the deb, commented out the "exit 1" and repacked the
deb, then a bit of manual installation to get the dependencies updated.
After another re-install ascii and upgrade to beowulf to verify I can confirm
that if you remove or rename /run/udev prior to the dist-upgrade the check gets
disabled. It's pretty obvious in the pre-inst file, but as it only ever caught
me in the middle of an upgrade when I was more interested in getting things
running rather than finessing a work-around I never really looked too hard.
In my case I ran the dist-upgrade until it bombed out, rm -r /run/udev and then
ran the upgrade again and this time it ran to completion.
A manual /etc/init.d/eudev restart afterwards re-created the directory and we
are off to the races.
I can't see why I wouldn't just zap /run/udev before the upgrade.
