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
