Package: udev
Version: 175-7
Severity: normal

Hi,

So after an update to current Wheezy a few days back, I was surprised
to notice today that my module blacklist was no longer being honoured.

It appears the file was silently moved to blacklist.conf.dpkg-bak without
prompting about that.

It had been a while between updates on that machine, and I don't recall
for certain if the file was still blacklist, or already blacklist.conf
(though if that changed with udev 0.140, then it was surely the latter,
since this machine has never been older than squeeze), but looking at
the udev.preinst, I'm guessing something went wrong with some combination
of:

mv_conffile /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
rm_conffile /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf


This may of course be purely a bug in the dpkg helpers, but this is the
only package I've seen it manifest on so far.

  Cheers,
  Ron
