Subject: udev: fails to install (install due to gnome-volume-manager)

Package: udev
Version: 0.050-6
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

I tried to install gnome-volume-manager and it depends on udev but udev did not
install correctly. Here's the exact output. It may help to understand what I did
and maybe what I did "wrong" ;) Anyway if I did miss something, the package should
inform me of that. I am completely new to udev, just as a hint.

Hi Michael,

I'm not the udev maintainer, but I can try to help.

Can you add "set -x" as the second line of
/var/lib/dpkg/info/udev.postinst, and retry configuration of that
package, and send us the output?

Thanks,
Justin

Your kernel lacks tmpfs support, but apparently does not behaves like
older kernels.
Please run these commands and report what happens:

mkdir /tmp/test1
mount -n -o size=3D5M,mode=3D0755 -t ramfs none /tmp/test1
mkdir /tmp/test2
mount -n -o size=3D5M,mode=3D0755 -t tmpfs none /tmp/test2
cp /etc/group /tmp/test/file

Please also send the .config file of the running kernel and the content
of /proc/filesystems .

ciao,
Marco

as far as I see, nothing happens... but... somehow, "something" does
happen. The same done with tmpfs... surely provides me with a nice
message, that my kernel lacks support for tmpfs as you did assume too. I
did disable tmpfs in the kernel because I did not need it.

Anyway, thanks for the hint. I did enable tmpfs again and the package
installed correctly. I am not aware of the general package guidlines,
but maybe you should add a check wether tmpfs is enabled or not which
prints a related message to the screen if it is not enabled rather than
just aborting the installation due to the lack of tmpfs support.

best regards
Michael

Description:
 udev - /dev/ management daemon
Closes: 294575
Changes:
 udev (0.053-1) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * New upstream release.
   * Removed patches cdsymlinks_numeric (merged upstream) and scsi_id_tmp
     (not needed anymore).
   * Added some documentation to the init script for the benefit of people
     who run commands without understanding their consequences. With the
     same rationale, added some code which prints a scary message if the
     script is started from an interactive shell.
   * Added to the init script a check for the $UDEV_DISABLED variable,
     which may be set on the kernel command line to easily disable udev.
   * Do not start udev from postinst when installing in a chroot.
   * Added to postinst yet another check for missing tmpfs. (Closes: #294575)
   * CAPI devices now are owned by group dialout, per policy.
   * Documented in README.Debian that the md RAID devices may not work.
   * Updated the cdsymlinks script with a patch from the author.
