Titel: UDEV _MAY_ BE_FATAL:: Dont do it

Best not dist-upgrade today
see:

Code:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=386500

if you already did, and see problems,you can downgrade udev:

Code:

ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/u/udev/udev_0.098-2_i386.deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/u/udev/udev_0.098-2_amd64.deb

Note: this aint happening to everyone; dont take the chance

A working fix is:

Code:

update-rc.d udev start 03 S .

update-rc.d udev-mtab start 36 S .

(just don't forget the dots at the end)

one poster on that bug report now listed this as a fix:

apt-get install --reinstall udev

but I can't confirm that yet. Once confirmed I'll add that fix to the du-fixes script if required.

Well, I can confirm that after apt-get install --reinstall udev the 2 symlinks /etc/rcS.d/S03udev and /etc/rcS.d/S36udev-mtab reappeared. Whether this means everything is OK I don't know as I have not rebooted.

Code:

update-rc.d -f udev start 03 S .

update-rc.d -f udev-mtab start 36 S .

Does solve the issue (in case those symlinks mentioned above got missing) and works without network access (which would eventually be necessary for apt-get install --reinstall), nevertheless the bug is serious.

shouldn't I use unfreeze-rc.d [...] freeze-rc.d?

OK I have rebooted (electricity got cut off due to thunderstorm!). No issues I can see.

thanks for the warning. i've only just apt-get upgraded (not dist-upgrade, because it wants to remove azureus at the moment), and udev was upgraded. good thing i read this thread before rebooting, and did the "apt-get install --reinstall udev" fix. i've rebooted now and everything's working fine.

The du-fixes script now will run the udev fix of install --reinstall udev after you complete your dist-upgrade. Make sure to enter the number for 'continue' after your dist-upgrade stuff is done, then the fix will run.
