Hope this helps, It seems /lib/udev/mtp-probe is from package libmtp-runtime, while /lib/udev/rules.d/69-libmtp.rules, which is the rule using the program, is from package libmtp-common. But their declared dependency is reversed: the former is declared to depend on the latter, and not vice versa. Thus, if you happen to install libmtp-common for some reason other than installing libmtp-runtime, you'll end up with that log complaint.

Any package can install scripts under /lib/udev/, and the package that install them is responsible for their removal/update as well. Ok, but then find this package that causes mtp-probe to be called, and fix that package dependencies. ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

I'm not so sure we should add that dependency, it is not present in udev (232-25+deb9u1). And issuing: dpkg -S /lib/udev/* shows e.g. hdparm: /lib/udev/hdparm ifupdown: /lib/udev/ifupdown-hotplug libinput-bin: /lib/udev/libinput-device-group libinput-bin: /lib/udev/libinput-model-quirks util-linux: /lib/udev/hwclock-set libmtp-runtime: /lib/udev/mtp-probe consolekit: /lib/udev/udev-acl Of these only util-linux is a dependency of udev. ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
