It's also waiting on a new version of makedev, which is frozen and includes lots of changes not related to the udev change, and has only been in unstable for two days. Cc:ed to the maintainer (Bdale) as well, for comments on whether makedev should be pushed through. It would be good if someone could do a concrete d-i sid test with this version of udev, to confirm that it does solve the problems in question. > Cc'ed to the release managers, who may want to force again udev in > testing to fix these RC bugs. I suspect so, but I think it's best to let makedev age a little more before pushing it in. Joey, is there any d-i deadline I need to worry about for this? I assume that if we have a known good fix, it's not a problem for it to not be in the d-i rc3 release, as long as it gets on the official CD builds for sarge? -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
