Hi, I would like to come back to the distribution upgrade issue since udev package cannot be installed if the kernel doesn't support CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED (like Lenny kernel 2.6.26). Recently, I have updated a machine from Lenny to Squeeze and apt-get dist-upgrade failed as expected. The kernel

2009-11-10 Thread Marco d'Itri
Due to changes in udev 147, squeeze will not support kernels earlier than 2.6.27. If your packages have code needed to support old kernels, this is the right time to clean it up. This means that lenny->squeeze upgrades will use the same lockstep kernel/udev upgrade method used for etch->lenny upg
