Did you resolve the conflict by hand?. Otherwise kpartx won't work. I can send a patch against 0.4.8-7 instead of 0.4.8-13 if that's easier for you. But since you only need kpartx I recommend to apply the patch I send against 0.4.8-13 (see below). Yes, I was able to resolve the conflict by hand.

Packages are available here: http://debian.bzed.de/etch-backports/ I looked here. devmapper_1.02.24.orig.tar.gz seems to be missing. Also the backport of multipath-tools is 0.4.8-7. That's even better since newer multipath-tools versions also need newer udev. So if you want to run on etch
