Package: lvm2 Version: 2.02.02-1 Severity: grave Hello,
the lvm2 package fails to install at least on systems running a kernel < 2.6.12. A debconf message box appears during the installation, telling: Running kernel TOO old Your running kernel is < 2.6.12. lvm2 since 2.02.00 does not work with them. An then the installation fails: dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/lvm2_2.02.02-1_i386.deb (--unpack): subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/lvm2_2.02.02-1_i386.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) I'm not sure whether this is intentional or not. If it should be intentional, it is at least quite unwise. Of course the average user who is already using lvm is *not* running a 2.6 kernel at the moment when he's installing lvm2. He's running 2.4 and is on the way to reboot into a 2.6 kernel where he needs the new tools for the first time. Btw... in the package description you say: LVM2 is backwards-compatible with LVM1 (lvm10), and requires Linux kernel 2.4 or later This is obviously not true, since it then would not fail to install on 2.4 or later kernels :) regards Mario -- Independence Day: Fortunately, the alien computer operating system works just fine with the laptop. This proves an important point which Apple enthusiasts have known for years. While the evil empire of Microsoft may dominate the computers of Earth people, more advanced life forms clearly prefer Mac's.
