Hi Wolodja
Quite likely due to the /run + udev + initscripts transition that is still
ongoing in wheezy (\o/ Md)
For now do either:
1. "rm -rf /run" + reboot
I came across this suggestion after researching this issue, but this didn't work for me. Apparently, others had mixed success with this too from what I read.
2. Upgrade udev, base-files and all binary packages built from the
initscripts source package to the versions in sid. Probably the easiest
way is to set the default release to "wheezy" and "aptitude -t sid"
them.
Actually, I tried doing this from experimental and from sid. The udev was 170-1 and this was reported by apt as being the latest version.
What did work for me was downgrading udev and udev-utils to the previous version and rebooting, so I don't know if version 170-1 is just toast or whether the maintainer will work on this to sort out the bug(s), but for now I am leaving that version well alone.
FWIW - I recommend the first approach. If you have further question either come back here, or join #debian-next on irc.oftc.net.
Thanks for following up on this.
Good luck
Cheers AG
