Safe-upgrade problems
Hey all
An upgrade on sid on 12/18 as me stumped. The bootup of that
partition hangs at "USBHID 2.6" . Have tried on 2 different kernels
and both just stop.
A testing upgrade on 12/17 and another on 12/19 boot but have a
number of programs failing to start. Clanv, Dovecot, atd, and firehol.
I have traced that to a change of permissions in /dev/null.
ls -l /dev/null should be
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 2009-12-20 05:55 /dev/null
but shows up after reboot as
crw- --- --- 1 root staff 1, 3 2009-12-20 05:55 /dev/null
I can change the permissions back to the correct settings and init.d
the 4 programs and all is well until the next bootup.
I guess that one of the 'many' programs upgraded on the 17th is changing
the dev/null permissions but finding "which one' is not going to be easy.
Just a heads up to testing users. I didn't even notice it until a few
programs I run with 'at' threw the errors.
