package: udev version: 0.125-7
While upgrading from etch to lenny udev package configuration exited with this error message "subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2" I edited /var/lib/dpkg/info/udev.postinst file by hand to pinpoint the issue, while running "dpkg --configure udev". The problem is, the following command in restart_udevd exits with value 2. start-stop-daemon --stop --name udevd --oknodo --quiet --retry 5 The message is "Program udevd, 1 process(es), refused to die." When I see ps output, there is a defunct udev. root 1398 1 0 2008 ? 00:00:00 [udevd] <defunct> When I run udev manually by "udevd --debug", the process runs fine. Don't know about the functionality though, the server is far away to test by plugging some usb devices. When I tried to continue "dpkg --configure udev" The second udev process started manually by me became defunct. The debug output ends like .......... [28758] parse_file: reading '/etc/udev/rules.d/z60_xen-backend.rules' as rules file [28758] main: initialize max_childs to 256 [28758] main: initialize max_childs_running to 72 gazali:~# I think postinst script can just pass the error and continue. -- Gokdeniz Karadag -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
