Package: udev Version: 0.125-6 Severity: normal
Hi, I am just about to upgrade a number of machines from an older lenny installation (about 6-8 weeks old) to the recentmost (lenny) packages. This includes upgrading udev from 0.114-2 to 0.125-6, plus some 700 other packages. On at least two machines, I encountered the following: The upgrade has crashed the machine (somewhere in the pam upgrade, I think, when restarting services, but this is of no importance here). The point is, udev is unpacked, and /sbin/udevtrigger is already removed. However, when the system crashes, the udev init script is still the old one, referring to the non-existent udevtrigger. On rebooting, this leaves the system in a very ugly state if the user does not know that all he needs to do is to move the new /etc/init.d/udev.dkpg-new to /etc/init.d/udev and reboot again (this just for the record in case anybody may need it). So, you know the packaging a lot better than I do, I suppose. Is it not possible to upgrade the udev init script at an earlier time in the installation process (maybe immediately after unpacking) instead of waiting for the general package setup phase? This would greatly reduce the chances that a crash in any of the other packages' upgrades leaves the udev installation in such an inconsistent state... I do not know whether this is just relevant for lenny-to-lenny updates, or whether it may also occur on upgrading from etch to lenny.
