The easiest way to deal with this is to install the package in question manually with dpkg -i, reboot and continue the upgrade. good luck Wolodja -- .''`.

I think this udev problem sounds more like the issue discussed in another branch of this thread. Looks like this problem http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=571255 If you read this report you will see there are some issues about what to depend on what. -- Alan Chandler http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

The point is, there are a few things that aren't higher versions. A thing or two. (That will surely change in the run up to release.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

I had similar problem when upgrading from lenny to testing. First pull newer kernel image, 2.6.30, if I recall correctly (but don't pull 2.6.32-x yet, cause depends on new udev). Reboot. Then pull new udev, and reboot again. Now you can pull newest kernel. Hopefully if want to upgrade from testing to sid, then you won't have o much trouble, at least I didn't had. For me sid is stable enough, and I'm not having mercy to my laptop, running BOINC projects 24/7, with CPU temp around 90°, but it is just me... :) in fact it is behaving more stable than lenny ever had, even testing wasn't too stable in my case. 2010/6/25 Mark Allums <mark(a)allums.com>: > On 6/24/2010 5:49 PM, Jesús M.
