Re: udev creates wrong symlink from rule after upgrade to bookworm

[peter@easthope.ca]

Hi,

Appears that the failure reported by Karl Schmidt occurred when two 
devices matched the rule.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1040445

Similar erroneous result here with only one matching device.  Details 
below.

Ideas?

Thx,                           ... P.

=====================================
In Debian 11.
root@imager:~# cat /etc/deb*ver*
11.8

root@imager:~# head -n 13 /etc/udev/rules.d/10* | tail -n 2
KERNEL=="sd?3", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ATTR{size}=="60028928", \
  SYMLINK+="AY", OWNER="root", GROUP="root", MODE="700"

root@imager:~# ls -ld /dev/A*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Oct 22 07:00 /dev/AY -> sdb3

# That, ^, is the correct result.

In Debian 12.
root@imager:~# cat /etc/deb*ver*
12.2

root@imager:~# head -n 23 /etc/udev/rules.d/10* | tail -n 2
KERNEL=="sd?3", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ATTR{size}=="60028928", \ 
  SYMLINK+="A1", OWNER="root", GROUP="root", MODE="700"

root@imager:~# ls -ld /dev/A*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Oct 22 06:53 /dev/A1 -> sda5

# That, ^, is the wrong result.  /dev/sda has no ATTR{size}=="60028928".

Simple tests similar to these reported by Karl and I are likely to 
produce failures in short order.

Failure of salient features impairs the appeal of Debian.  With 
removable storage routinely depending upon udev, successful operation 
really should be verified before a new Debian is released.

Regards,                   ... Peter E.
