With stretch being released and buster open for development, it would be a great opportunity to get this fixed now. So please consider adding this change in your next upload. If you are worried about backports: /bin/udevadm is already available in Debian jessie (oldstable) or Ubuntu trusty (14.04LTS). So it's safe to use the /bin/udevadm path. You might also consider not hard-coding the path altogether, and simply rely on PATH being set properly. This should be a safe assumption, especially since the binary is now in /bin Regards, Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
