Strange thing. If I type # apt-cache policy udev
then I see that the current version of udev is 0.065-1. Do you have your /etc/apt/sources.list set correctly to unstable? Furthermore, there is apparently something wrong with your locale settings. Try installing localeconf to properly generate locales # apt-get install localeconf # reboot Also try installing the remaining dependancies the linux-image should have - see the "Depends:" line of e.g. # apt-cache show kernel-image-2.6.11-1-686 Write angry mail to the new Debian director :-) > -----Original Message----- > From: Manu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, August 09, 2005 8:10 AM > To: Žáček Kryštof; debian-user@lists.debian.org > Subject: RE: udev and kernel 2.6.12 > > Thanks ..
