Martin: I did a lot of additional investigating into the link issue and I believe I have discovered the problem which was on my end. For many years I have have has a bunch of aliases for /bin/ls defined. For example:
alias l="/bin/ls -al" alias lx="/bin/ls -FC" alias lt="/bin/ls -AFCt" As aliases, these have never caused any problem. However, while moving to this new system, these aliases were converted into a shell script with a bunch of links. Unfortunately, one of the links was created as ls rather than lx and this caused calls to ls to append the "type" characters -- in the case of sympolic links, an '@' character. Looking back at the original messages from above: + invoke-rc.d udev restart invoke-rc.d: not a symlink: /etc/rcS.d/S03udev@ invoke-rc.d: dangling symlink: /etc/rcS.d/S03udev@ I see that the '@' is listed as part of the name. I missed this originally because I am so used to seeing that designator in my listings, but I am pretty sure that the script was taking this as part of the actual filename and could locate no links by those names. This failure of invoke-rc.d probably kept the postinst script from running. So that solves one problem. Since manually running the postinst script worked, it probably would have run successfully had the ls error not occurred. The udef package is therefore, probably alright as is. Sorry to have been the source of the problem and wasted your time on this, but your input was very helpful in getting it resolved. I've had some issues with other package installations which I do not think were caused by the same ls error, as that new script was only active for a few days. I will monitor future updates and see if any pattern emerges, but for now all is well.
