<div dir="ltr">Package: multipath-tools<br>Version: 0.6.4-4<br>Severity: normal<br><br>Hi,<br>we got an Ubuntu bug report [1] , but I think this is better solved in Debian than to make our Delta even more weird, therefore reporting to you here.<br><br>The TL;DR is that I think the 60-multipath.rules references in debian/initramfs/hooks no more apply - so they should be either fixed or dropped.<br>Since it seems to work without dropping likely is better, but I'm not sure on this.<br><br>This is the list of references I still find:<br>- In postinst is only a transition to remove "Removing dangling $RULE symlink..."<br>Â The same it true for the kpartx.rule (That transition should be done now right?)<br>- multipath/Makefile installs it with different names now 56-multipath.rules<br>- debian/initramfs/hooks refers to older filenames (60-multipath.rules), therefore current references are no-ops.<br><br>One can search e.g. buildlogs to confirm the file no more existing: [2]<br>Or look on a Debian system with all multipath packages installed which shows<br>Â $ dpkg -L kpartx multipath-tools multipath-tools-boot | egrep '\.rules'<br>Â /lib/udev/rules.d/60-kpartx.rules<br><br>I must admit I don't see how the 60-kpartx.rules gets to its name (I'd have expected 66-), but it is there so I'm not complaining on that one.<br><br>Yet on the no more existing rules there could be two changes made<br>1. drop the multipath.rules references like "0001-stale-60-multipath.rules-ref.patch"<br>2. If you agree that the transition of the old rule references is done (was debian/lenny 0.4.8-13 might be even older), then also drop the link dropper code like in "0002-postinst-simplify-by-dropping-old-transition.patch"<div>On the latter one might even consider dropping the full case statement now.<br><br>Both patches are attached.<div>Open for discussion, if you want changes as real commits somewhere let me know.</div><div><div><div><br></div><div>[1]:Â <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/multipath-tools/+bug/1548303">https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/multipath-tools/+bug/1548303</a></div><div>[2]:Â <a href="https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=multipath-tools&arch=i386&ver=0.6.4-4&stamp=1487750289&raw=0">https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=multipath-tools&arch=i386&ver=0.6.4-4&stamp=1487750289&raw=0</a></div><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><span style="color:rgb(136,136,136);font-size:12.8px">Christian Ehrhardt</span><div style="color:rgb(136,136,136);font-size:12.8px">Software Engineer, Ubuntu Server</div><div style="color:rgb(136,136,136);font-size:12.8px">Canonical Ltd</div></div></div></div></div>
