Package: udev Version: 167-1 Severity: important Hi Marco,
The new udev is creating files in /run (if present): % ls -l /run total 1 drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 1024 Apr 5 19:03 udev % ls -l /run/udev total 19 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 5120 Apr 5 19:03 data drwxr-xr-x 121 root root 10240 Apr 5 19:03 links -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8 Apr 5 19:03 queue.bin drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Apr 5 19:03 rules.d drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 1024 Apr 5 19:03 tags drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Apr 5 19:03 watch While it will be fine for udev to do this when /run is supported in initscripts, right now it's not. >From today, base-files will add /run, but we're currently waiting on initscripts to actually start mounting a tmpfs there. As a result, udev is going to start putting things there on the root filesystem, and this is going to interfere with upgrades since we'll end up mounting stuff over the top, hiding the udev directory. It might also break things, given that it might well be read only. Would it be possible to explicitly disable this for the time being? Once initscripts is updated, it should be possible for udev to add a versioned dependency on >= the initscripts version adding /run support, and then using /run can be made unconditional since it will be guaranteed to be present.
