Package: kpartx
Version: 0.4.8-12
Severity: important
multipathd requires kpartx and udev to be nice and do the dm creation work.
kpartx uses /lib/udev/dmsetup_env for that, which uses dmsetup.
however the package depends on dmsetup in general, while at least
version 2:1.02.08-1 does not support '-o whatever' options, only
'-o name', which fails partition creation, which makes multipathd
quite useless indeed. moreover, it makes poor admins to yell and
scream and run in circles to figure out why on earth this bloody
thing doesn't work.
so please depend on dmsetup >= 2:1.02.27-1 or whatever you like.
thanks. :)
