Debian sid and udev problem.
Hello, I'm not sure where to ask this question, but this seemed as the more
appropriate mailling list. I have installed debian, and upgraded to debian
sid, and then I get this error with udev:
debian:/home/jon# apt-get -f install

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
As far as I can tell, it's failing at making a symlink to ../hotplug.rules in
the /etc/udev/rules directory, so I tried manually making the hotplug.rules
directory, which didn't work.
So, help please? I'm running kernel 2.6.14-1-686-smp and as you can see, I'm
trying to install udev 0.074. If this is the wrong mailinglist I apologise
and would like to know the appropriate mailinglist.
Thanks in advance
Jon
