Bug#349354: initramfs-tools - kernel -udev dependency loop
Greetings,
The new upgrade procedure fails on alpha, regardless of the kernel
workaround, there's still a udev - initramfs-tools dependency loop which
interrupts the udev postinst, and the failures cascade from there:
# touch /etc/udev/kernel-upgrade
# dselect
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.
8 not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0B of archives.
After unpacking 0B of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?
Setting up udev (0.085-1) ...
Kernel upgrade mode, udevd has not been restarted.
Please reboot the system as soon as possible.
Kernel version too old. initramfs-tools requires at least 2.6.12.
