I am not sure what the problem is here, according to the bug report,
the solution was:
cd /etc/udev/rules.d/
ln -s ../cd-aliases.rules .
However, on my system, this symlink was already created for me
(IIRC). Looking at the postinst script, this symlink is always
created(?).
My only problem I had is that I came from devfs, and it come as a
surprise that ide-cd wasn't automatically loaded. Sure, it was easy
for me to fix, and it is pointed out in the documentation too, but if
I was a Linux novice, I might get totally confused.
Also, certain paragraphs from README.Debian, of udev 0.048-2 rather
confused me:
"If you prefer devfs-style names you can switch by removing this link
and creating new links to udev-devfs.rules (devfs-style devices) and
optionally udev-compat.rules (some compatibility symlinks) and
rebooting. As long as the directory is not empty, the package will
not modify the symlinks contained."
On my system, the closest file I could find was devfs.rules (not
udev-devfs.rules), but there was already a symlink created for me.
Maybe the documentation needs updating...
