Re: lotsa udev warnings after lenny->squeeze upgrade

Thanks for your reply, Wolodja. I've run your "aptitude"
suggestion and accepted all purges. This seems to have
gotten rid of a few udev complaints, but some remain.
They're related to libjnb (I have an old creative mp3
"jukebox" I plug every once in a while), and xserver-wacom
(I do *not* have a tablet). I've also noticed all these messages
repeat three times (in /var/log/syslog). I guess this corresponds
to the three instances of "udevd" I see running. By the way I
have a similar behaviour on an unstable install on the same system...

thanks for any suggestion,

-bald
