Package: upgrade-reports Severity: normal When upgrading an old system from lenny to squeeze, I encountered the dialog from linux-base about changing system configuration to use UUIDs.
The first section ("These devices will be assigned UUIDs or labels:") correctly showed /dev/hda1 (my root filesystem) and the UUID assigned to it. The second section ("These configuration files will be updated:") correctly showed the list of configuration files this change would update. However, the third section ("The device IDs will be changed as follows:") contained several confusing and possibly incorrect bits of information. First, it listed /dev/hdc as changing to /dev/cdrom, which doesn't seem related to UUIDs or labels. Second, it showed /dev/hda2 (my swap device), which didn't appear in the previous sections, and in addition to showing a UUID for it, the line right after /dev/hda2 showed: + PATH=pci-0000:00:1f.1-scsi-1:0:0:0 At first glance that looked like the results of incorrectly parsing the output of a command, leaving me concerned that this would incorrectly edit one of my configuration files to contain that appended to a UUID. - Josh Triplett -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
