tail /var/lib/dpkg/info/udev.postinst # Automatically added by dh_installinit if [ -x "/etc/init.d/udev" ]; then update-rc.d udev start 03 S . >/dev/null || exit 0 fi # End automatically added section # Automatically added by dh_installinit if [ -x "/etc/init.d/udev-mtab" ]; then update-rc.d udev-mtab start 36 S . >/dev/null || exit 0 fi # End automatically added section That's the version in testing, but the source package in sid also has all that's needed to get it in again, unless there's a hard-to-see subtle error. Maybe you have some link to /etc/init.d/udev left in a runlevel you don't use, or only a kill link? Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Single Molecule Spectroscopy, Protein Folding @ Inst. f.
