Best not dist-upgrade today
see:
Code:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=386500
if you already did, and see problems,you can downgrade udev:
Code:
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/u/udev/udev_0.098-2_i386.deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/u/udev/udev_0.098-2_amd64.deb
Note: this aint happening to everyone; dont take the chance
A working fix is:
Code:
update-rc.d udev start 03 S .
update-rc.d udev-mtab start 36 S .
(just don't forget the dots at the end) |

one poster on that bug report now listed this as a fix:
apt-get install --reinstall udev
but I can't confirm that yet. Once confirmed I'll add that fix to the du-fixes script if required. |

| Well, I can confirm that after apt-get install --reinstall udev the 2 symlinks /etc/rcS.d/S03udev and /etc/rcS.d/S36udev-mtab reappeared. Whether this means everything is OK I don't know as I have not rebooted. |

Code:
update-rc.d -f udev start 03 S .
update-rc.d -f udev-mtab start 36 S .
Does solve the issue (in case those symlinks mentioned above got missing) and works without network access (which would eventually be necessary for apt-get install --reinstall), nevertheless the bug is serious. |

| thanks for the warning. i've only just apt-get upgraded (not dist-upgrade, because it wants to remove azureus at the moment), and udev was upgraded. good thing i read this thread before rebooting, and did the "apt-get install --reinstall udev" fix. i've rebooted now and everything's working fine. |

| The du-fixes script now will run the udev fix of install --reinstall udev after you complete your dist-upgrade. Make sure to enter the number for 'continue' after your dist-upgrade stuff is done, then the fix will run. |
