Package: xserver-xorg-input-wacom
Severity: normal
After upgrading a system from lenny to squeeze, udev started complaining
at boot time about /etc/udev/rules.d/z60_xserver-xorg-input-wacom.rules
.. As far as I can tell, that configuration file comes from older
versions of xserver-xorg-input-wacom; newer versions ship that file in
/lib/udev/rules.d instead, but dpkg doesn't remove the old version in
/etc, which uses older syntax that current udev doesn't like.
Please consider removing the old configuration file on upgrade. Please
also consider doing so in a stable update, to make systems upgraded to
squeeze less noisy at boot time.
Thanks,
Josh Triplett

Hi Josh,
I'm going to close this ticket, because it's a duplicate of #565126,
which already has an important flag on it and a discussion of the
udev musical chairs game we seem to have lost here.
It's probably a bit late to do much about for squeeze now, but I'm
leaving it open because it's a real bug, and someone might get the
itch and time to fix it still. But so far most people just delete
the orphaned file if they've no local changes in it and move on.
Sorry,
Ron
