[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#325142: alsa-utils: udev 0.6* and kernel-2.6.12 in odd state

[Harri Haataja]

Package: alsa-utils
Version: 1.0.9a-3
Followup-For: Bug #325142


Just dropping a note here that the udev in unstable is .. in a nasty state.
Many udev bugs show this. I believe that currently installing the new
udev will break (along with large parts of the system) when booting into
2.6.8 kernels. Older udev OTOH no longer has a working alsa-utils
available (this bug). No idea how that deals with a newer kernel.

The responses to most if not all bugs on udev seem very hostile and
there doesn't seem to be a sane fix in sight. Not to alsa, 1394(?) or
.8 vs .12 issues nor to who knows what.
