It happen to both kernel version 2.6.12 and 2.6.14. I think older version of udev (before 0.70?) have no such problem.

I'm just a user, and not that sophisticated. :-)

No, no disagreement from me. :-) It'd certainly be nice if all relevant
information are in one place, clear and precise. And a "man whatever"
gives you everything you want.
BTW, it just struck me that the style of the apt.conf manpage is
somewhat different -- more like some explanatory essay than telling you
how to do something. It relegates the details to an example document.

Is BTS down?

No, it's on the network of university where I'm working. And even a --timeout=600 (10 minutes!) brings no luck. :-( Regards, ST -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
