I have been intending to ask this for sometime but never quite got round to it.
On my GRML HD installation when I have been upgrading packages I keep getting a conflict involving udev. It seems to be that libgudev (probably is something to do with the gnome packages I have installed) depends on libudev0 >= 146 but GRML provides libudev0 0.141-1grml.04. This raises a few questions:
- Would it be safe for me to upgrade to the Debian version of udev, I
have held off as udev is quite core to the system and I don't want to really mess up my system.
Shouldn't cause any problems on harddisk installations. Though having a *working* grml CD/USB-pen available is always a good idea. ;)
- Why does there seem to be a difference in the Debian package numbering
and the GRML numbering (GRML seems to be providing 0.XXX where as Debian seems to have XXX, surely the versions don't differ as much as this suggests).
There's no big change, it's just that the numbering scheme changed in Debian lately. It used to be something like 0.141-1 for Debian and 0.141-1grml.03 for the grml package, though as soon as we rebase to Debian's 146-6 it will become something like 146-6grml.01 as well then.
- Would it be possible for GRML to provide a suitable updated udev
package to match the Debian one?
Post grml 2009.10 sure, though we are holding udev back for a number of reasons for the current stable release.
