Apt-get dist-upgrade woes

Preparing to replace udev 0.056-3 (using .../archives/udev_0.070-2_i386.deb) ...
udev requires a kernel >= 2.6.12, upgrade aborted.

???

i type apt-get disk-upgrade at the console prompt...
after a while, the above error poped up.

i search at Debiann Package at debian.org, but i cant find a kernel version that is >2.6.12...

it is a apt-get problem?

(i am using sarge)

Hi,

In your sources.list , you must have main contrib and non-free.

kernel-image package is replaced by linux-image 2.6.12.

Then you'll be able to get rid of the error, after installing your new kernel.

Don't do apt-dist upgrade, that's my advice. Install apt-listbugs and change

your sources : etch ===> sid or unstable if you want it.

Hope that helps.

cheers

O...i find the kernel....

but ist it apt-get supposed to handle the dependecies?

it seems that it is too late

apt-listbugs is already the newest version.

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

  apt-listbugs: Depends: ruby (>= 1.8) but it is not going to be installed

                Depends: libruby1.8 (>= 1.8.1) but it is not going to be installed

                Depends: libintl-gettext-ruby1.8 but it is not going to be installed

                Depends: libxml-parser-ruby1.8 but it is not going to be installed

  hal: Depends: udev (>= 0.063) but 0.056-3 is to be installed

That mean i have to solve the dependencies by hand???

WTF

Hey, don't sweat it, I just yesterday had pretty much the SAME problem you have, and with pointers from these guys I got it figured out. Here's what I did:

First, if you want to upgrade to testing go to http://packages.debian.org/testing/base/ and if you want to upgrade to unstable go to http://packages.debian.org/unstable/base/

in there, you WILL find 2.6.12 for whatever your system is. Download that package (I think it's different from what you tried to install).

Now, assuming your sources.list still has your proper dist, do apt-get install mod-init-tools

If that doesn't work, immediately do apt-get -f install.

THEN try to install your new kernel. Once that's done, go about putting in everything (including udev) that it wouldn't let you do before.

Hope that helps!

Try what has been suggested by the previous poster.
Apt-listbugs has basically to be installed IMMEDIATELY
after you have the distro installed so that nothing comes in its way.

It is a useful tool to help you manage your installing packages. For
the moment, it is buggy, apt-listbugs says apt-listbugs is buggy :)

I had done: (manually)

Code:

dpkg -i --force-all linux-image-2.6.12-1-386_2.6.12-10_i386.deb linux-image-2.6-386_2.6.12-10_i386.deb kernel-image-2.6-386_2.6.12-10_i386.deb...

but...when i type

Code:

apt-get -f install udev

Code:

dpkg -i --force-all udev_0.070-2_i386.deb

this error occured

Code:

udev requires a kernel >= 2.6.12, upgrade aborted.

i installed apt-listbugs....but sadly....nothing good happened.:scratch:

I managed to fix the problem now...but at last,

[code]
Setting up at (3.1.9) ...
Starting deferred execution scheduler: atdinvoke-rc.d: initscript atd, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing at (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[/code

finding "at" is not so important for me, i just reinstalled it...

BIG THANKS GUYS:D
