Hello Guus, Guus Sliepen [2016-01-03 17:57 +0100]: > Hm, well I don't think it should have tried to do the upgrade in the > first place, as installing udev 228-3 clearly conflicts with ifupdown > 0.8.4.
This only happens if you upgrade to ifupdown 0.8.5 and udev 228-3 simultaneously. Due to the mutual Breaks: apt (temporarily) deconfigures the old udev, which triggers this old udev prerm bug. > But maybe it really is (also) a problem with udev's prerm script. It is indeed. It got fixed in 228-3, but we can't retroactively fix the old one. Michael's idea was to drop the Breaks: from ifupdown and only keep the Replaces:, which will avoid deconfiguring udev and thus avoid running into this old prerm bug. Upgrades will be fine with that, it will just not work correctly with partial downgrades. But we don't support these anyway. Unfortunately I don't have a better idea either. Guus, would you be okay with dropping the Breaks: to udev again? Thanks, Martin -- Martin Pitt | http://www.piware.de Ubuntu Developer (www.ubuntu.com) | Debian Developer (www.debian.org)
