[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#548758: devicekit-disks: Outdated / missing information from udev

[Michael Biebl]

Package: devicekit-disks
Version: 007-1
Severity: important

devicekit-disks installs a udev rules file which makes additional
information available (it uses the DKD_ namespace in the udev db).

After an upgrade from previous versions or a fresh install, this
information is outdated or missing which can lead to unexpected results,
e.g. I noticed that in palimpsest an extended partition was not
correctly shown and it showed incorrect values for remaining space on
the disk.

An easy solution is to reboot, we would like though to have it
working ootb without the need to reboot. Another possibility could be to run
"udevadm trigger" in postinst.
