I had this problem on 2/3 machines I upgraded today. The upgrade that worked was from 0.076-6; the other two were from 0.081-1. I donno if thats relevant. The latest upgrade was also from a "held" state after dist-upgrading everything else (except firefox), and the already-running udev on that system had a PID of 2460, not 700-800. I don't know what the PID of the first 2 udevs were, though, and I don't know that the "failed to kill" message wasn't for a PID that udev used to have.
I wonder if perhaps the udev daemon was killed by something other than s-s-d, or by some earlier part of s-s-d? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
