Yes, I meant to say etch.

That's even better since newer multipath-tools versions also need newer udev. So if you want to run on etch sticking to 0.4.8-7 isn't that bad. You should also be able to fetch 1.0.24.orig.tar.gz from archive.debian.net. > I assume I should just get devmapper_1.02.27-4 from the official > 'testing' suite and use that with 0.4.8-13 from testing? If you can run lenny, yes. [..snip..] > Am I applying the git patch too early?
