Broken Package

sj061 · 02-07-2010, 04:42 AM

After going from Debian Lenny to squeeze, everything was going OK,apart from 8 broken packages of which I was easily able to fix 7 of the packages.The last one is x-org core, which comes up with the error message /var/cache/apt/archives/udev_150-2_i386.deb returned an error. From all my research it indicates that an update from kernel 2.6.26-2-686 to a later version is required due to 150 udev requiring the support of the CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED.My next question is where to start, do I need to add a linux-image repository in sources.list and then use the command-line or am I headed in the wrong direction. As you can see I have not done this before so any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA, Scott

If your sources.list is pointing to Squeeze/Testing already you can install the current Squeeze kernel with:

Code:

aptitude install linux-image-2.6.32-trunk-686

# ran `aptitude update`
# upgraded the kernel and rebooted.
# upgraded udev and rebooted
# finally did the `aptitude full-upgrade`
