Yes I gathered (something like) this is the issue, though I dont
understand the details.
Is it possible to reverse the blacklisting and see what happens?

Not sure how this is best checked.
Synaptic shows udev and libudev0 as
installed: 171-3
latest: 172-1
That is it is upgradable. I can try doing that but dont know if this
will only muddy the waters further :-)
As for kernel:
uname gives me 2.6.32-5-686
synaptic for linux-image-2.6.32.5-686 shows installed version at
2.6.32-31 same as latest
