Package: pcmciautils
Version: 014-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Pcmciautils does not require udev anymore (as per #350182),
but the startup script bails out with an exit code if udev isn't installed.
Removing lines 92-97 from /etc/init.d/pcmciautils fixes this.
Furthermore, please load the pcmcia module: without udev installed,
Nobody else will load it and hence 16bit pcmcia cards won't be detected.
(the upstream init script does that, but a previous debian mod moved this
to udev scripts.)
A patch is included.
