Package: udev Version: 0.090-2 Severity: important When upgrading from 0.089-1 to 0.090-2, the installation complained that the preinst script wanted to call /lib/udev/write_net_rules. However, this file didn't exist in 0.089-1, and during preinst the new files aren't unpacked yet.
I worked around the problem by creating an empty (executable) script of that name. After that, there were no problems for the upgrade. The problem is on line 89 of the preinst, where write_net_rules is called unconditionally (that is, without checking if it exists). A solution would be to use test ! -x /lib/udev/write_net_rules || /lib/udev/write_net_rules all_devices (the strange ! || instead of && is to get a failure exit code in the right situations.) However, I don't know if that does indeed do what it should, because it means nothing will be done if the script doesn't exist. -- Package-specific info: -- /etc/udev/rules.d/: /etc/udev/rules.d/: total 8 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Sep 27 2005 020_permissions.rules -> ../permissions.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Feb 28 12:00 025_libgphoto2.rules -> ../libgphoto2.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Apr 18 00:17 025_libsane.rules -> ../libsane.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Sep 27 2005 cd-aliases.rules -> ../cd-aliases.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Sep 27 2005 devfs.rules -> ../devfs.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1471 Dec 3 11:29 shevek.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 74 Jan 30 16:52 z00_auto.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Apr 6 09:21 z20_persistent-input.rules -> ../persistent-input.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Sep 27 2005 z20_persistent.rules -> ../persistent.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Apr 22 09:44 z45_persistent-net-generator.rules -> ../persistent-net-generator.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Sep 27 2005 z50_run.rules -> ../run.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Oct 9 2005 z55_hotplug.rules -> ../hotplug.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Oct 4 2005 z60_hdparm.rules -> ../hdparm.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Sep 27 2005 z70_hotplugd.rules -> ../hotplugd.rules -- /sys/: /sys/block/hda/dev /sys/block/hda/hda1/dev /sys/block/hda/hda2/dev /sys/block/hda/hda3/dev /sys/block/hdd/dev /sys/block/hdd/hdd1/dev /sys/block/hdd/hdd2/dev /sys/block/hdd/hdd3/dev /sys/block/md0/dev /sys/block/ram0/dev /sys/block/ram1/dev /sys/block/ram10/dev /sys/block/ram11/dev /sys/block/ram12/dev /sys/block/ram13/dev /sys/block/ram14/dev /sys/block/ram15/dev /sys/block/ram2/dev /sys/block/ram3/dev /sys/block/ram4/dev /sys/block/ram5/dev /sys/block/ram6/dev /sys/block/ram7/dev /sys/block/ram8/dev /sys/block/ram9/dev /sys/block/sda/dev /sys/block/sdb/dev /sys/class/input/input0/event0/dev /sys/class/input/input1/event1/dev /sys/class/input/input2/event2/dev /sys/class/input/input2/mouse0/dev /sys/class/input/input2/ts0/dev /sys/class/input/mice/dev /sys/class/misc/agpgart/dev /sys/class/misc/device-mapper/dev /sys/class/misc/hpet/dev /sys/class/misc/psaux/dev /sys/class/misc/rtc/dev /sys/class/ppdev/parport0/dev /sys/class/printer/lp0/dev /sys/class/scsi_generic/sg0/dev /sys/class/scsi_generic/sg1/dev /sys/class/sound/adsp/dev /sys/class/sound/audio/dev /sys/class/sound/controlC0/dev /sys/class/sound/dsp/dev /sys/class/sound/mixer/dev /sys/class/sound/pcmC0D0c/dev /sys/class/sound/pcmC0D0p/dev /sys/class/sound/pcmC0D1c/dev /sys/class/sound/pcmC0D2p/dev /sys/class/sound/timer/dev /sys/class/usb_device/usbdev1.1/dev /sys/class/usb_device/usbdev2.1/dev /sys/class/usb_device/usbdev3.1/dev /sys/class/usb_device/usbdev3.2/dev -- Kernel configuration: -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-1-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages udev depends on: ii initscripts 2.86.ds1-14 Scripts for initializing and shutt ii libc6 2.3.6-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libselinux1 1.30-1 SELinux shared libraries ii libvolume-id0 0.090-2 libvolume_id shared library ii lsb-base 3.1-4 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii makedev 2.3.1-81 creates device files in /dev ii sed 4.1.4-7 The GNU sed stream editor udev recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
