<cjwatson> don't upgrade direct from dapper to feisty though
<jg> upgrade was from Edgy.
<cjwatson> perhaps you could help us debug that with reference to 
/var/lib/dpkg/info/volumeid.postinst, which is supposed to do that migration?
<jg> cjwatson: there is no case for /dev/hda? in the case statement....
<cjwatson> there doesn't need to be, it's included in /dev/*
<StevenK>         if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt "093-0ubuntu5"; then
<jg> cjwatson: my shell is too rusty to help much...  I've grown pointy hair...
<StevenK> That seems to strike me as backwards, and I don't know why.
<robertj> is the release officially out now? tis on the top of /.
<cjwatson> "if version we're upgrading from is older than 093-0ubuntu5, then do 
the migration"
<jg> cjwatson: here's the scenario, I think that caused me to lose....
<pitti> hm, should really be lt-nl, but that shouldn't cause this bug
<jg> I think checking the version is a *bad* idea.
<pitti> or, no, maybe not
<jg> I had a flaky motherboard, but thought it was my disk.
<jg> I got file system damage.
<jg> I went and got another disk.
<cjwatson> the problem is that if you don't do that then the migration happens 
over and over and over again
<cjwatson> and people who have some problem and really need to go back to 
mount-by-something-else lose
<jg> Did a fresh install of Edgy, and then moved my /home back.
<jg> using the "normal" old fashioned syntax.
<cjwatson> could you drop this in the bug? The udev maintainer is on holiday 
today, so information on IRC is liable to get lost
<jg> I think you need to see if /dev/hda? exists, and go from there, rather 
than key it on version.
<jg> ok, I'll add to the bug.
