..my occational workaround, is cheat out apt (or dpkg), adding an "exit 0" line below any line acting up in any of the relevant control-the-package script in /var/lib/dpkg/info/$PACKAGENAME.*, for e.g. zsh, those are: root@d44:~# ll /var/lib/dpkg/info/zsh.* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2569 Apr 27 2020 /var/lib/dpkg/info/zsh.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3483 Feb 5 2019 /var/lib/dpkg/info/zsh.md5sums -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 949 Feb 5 2019 /var/lib/dpkg/info/zsh.postinst -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 356 Feb 5 2019 /var/lib/dpkg/info/zsh.postrm -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 178 Feb 5 2019 /var/lib/dpkg/info/zsh.preinst -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 178 Feb 5 2019 /var/lib/dpkg/info/zsh.prerm ..easier, and disappears on the next upgrade. ;o) > > repacked the deb, then a bit of manual installation to get the > > dependencies updated. > > > After another re-install ascii and upgrade to beowulf to verify I can > confirm that if you remove or rename /run/udev prior to the > dist-upgrade the check gets disabled.

Uptime now 51 days 18:30, I haven't gotten around to test the other isos down my /boot/images. :o) -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt Karlsen ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...
