2.6.13 (Debian kernel): trigger:~# uname -a Linux trigger 2.6.13-1-686 #1 Fri Oct 7 00:31:22 JST 2005 i686 GNU/Linux > Does start-stop-daemon --stop --exec /sbin/udevd work from the command > line? Nope. I tried that: trigger:/home/phil# dpkg --configure -a Setting up udev (0.072-2) ... dpkg: error processing udev (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: udev trigger:/home/phil# start-stop-daemon --stop --exec /sbin/udevd --oknodo No /sbin/udevd found running; none killed. After killing udevd by hand, everything goes smoothly & start-stop-daemon then works perfectly after dpkg had finished. -- http://www.kantaka.co.uk/ .oOo. public key: http://www.kantaka.co.uk/gpg.txt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
