tags 603036 + patch thanks There are two ways to fix this issue. One is to change the package dependencies of lvm2 to depend on udev, the other is to change the init.d script dependency on udev from a hard to a soft dependency.
Hard dependencies are required when the package is installed, while soft dependencies only define ordering if the two packages in question are both installed. I believe switching to a soft dependency is the correct solution, as the package relations receive more though in Debian these days than the init.d script relations. Here is a patch to implement this change. --- debian/lvm2.init.orig 2010-12-13 21:30:44.000000000 +0100 +++ debian/lvm2.init 2010-12-13 21:30:58.000000000 +0100 @@ -1,9 +1,9 @@ #!/bin/sh ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: lvm2 lvm -# Required-Start: mountdevsubfs udev +# Required-Start: mountdevsubfs # Required-Stop: -# Should-Start: mdadm-raid cryptdisks-early multipath-tools-boot +# Should-Start: udev mdadm-raid cryptdisks-early multipath-tools-boot # Should-Stop: umountroot mdadm-raid # X-Start-Before: checkfs mountall # X-Stop-After: umountfs Given that udev is installed on most Debian systems, it can be argued that this issue is not release critical. I expect incorrect udev relationship to be RC for kfreebsd but given that lvm2 do not work on kfreebsd, it is purely ac itademic in this case.
