which was filed against the udev package:
#521586: Simple error in a rules file can make a system unbootable from disk
It has been closed by m...@linux.it (Marco d'Itri).
Their explanation is attached below along with your original report.
If this explanation is unsatisfactory and you have not received a
better one in a separate message then please contact m...@linux.it (Marco
d'Itri) by
replying to this email.
The explanation given was :
"So do not create rules with errors."
Here is what is in my /etc/udev/rules.d, coming from debian packages
(ie: I removed my personal ones, those are debian-distributed ones) :
025_libgphoto2.rules z60_hdparm.rules
025_logitechmouse.rules z60_libccid.rules
035_kino.rules z60_libchipcard-tools.rules
70-persistent-cd.rules z60_libfprint0.rules
70-persistent-net.rules z60_libpisock9.rules
77-nm-probe-modem-capabilities.rules z60_libsane-extras.rules
90-hal.rules z60_libsane.rules
libmtp8.rules z60_virtualbox-ose.rules
z60_alsa-utils.rules z60_xserver-xorg-input-wacom.rules
That means that quite a few packages can upload a broken rules file into
debian, which will end up in initrd and make systems unbootable (and
there are probably others which add rules files).
Sure, I discovered the problem on a personal file ; but it is much more
general: don't let the tree hide the forest.
