I had also tried the 'touch /sbin/udevadm.upgrade' workaround, and it
failed to work. However, instead of deleting the '--convert-db' line in
/var/lib/dpkg/info/udev.postinst, I changed it from:
udevadm info --convert-db
to:
udevadm.upgrade info --convert-db
This let the install
Nonsense. Ubuntu has limited resources and can't develop for and test
every possible method for doing things.
Debian does not support upgrades from oldstable to testing, so you can't
skip versions their either. The only difference is that since Debian
has so many fewer versions the situation is
If I may Scott, this is an answer one might except from microsoft telling you
you can't upgrade from XP to W7 without going through Vista. Obviously you know
of ubuntu bug #1.
I could understand sorry, we don't have the resources to test upgrades from
any release to any release, but let me see
I just got this exact same issue going from 10.10 to 11.10. In the end I
solved it by doing this:
Upgrading directly to 11.10 from 10.10 isn't supported. If you'd followed the
supported upgrade path and upgraded through 11.04, it would have been fine.

I want to add to this in case somebody runs into the same problem.
I just got this exact same issue going from 10.10 to 11.10. In the end I
solved it by doing this:
touch /sbin/udevadm.upgrade
apt-get install udev # gave me an error
rm /sbin/udevadm.upgrade
apt-get install udev # worked fine
I just got this error when upgrading from Lucid.
It might have been fixed for Natty, but how about when upgrading from Lucid?

Here is what I found out so far in a maverick chroot:

Debian `dpkg' package management program version 1.15.8.4ubuntu1 (amd64).

I looked at older version of this and its only a problem for maverick
(and later). It seems like dpkg-divert has a bug now, older versions
work as expected. Probably releated to the rewrite in C that 1.15.8
features.

The strace looks like the divert database is correctly written
(including the new udev entry) and also correctly (re)read by dpkg. But
for some reason not used. That is my reading of the strace so far at
least.

This is a bug in udev only... if udev wants to diverts its own file it
must not use --package udev otherwise it instructs dpkg to divert the
file EXCEPT when it's provided by udev (which it does). So in reality
the replacement /sbin/udevadm is only there for a short time and
overwritten by the new

Thanks Raphaël, that explains it.
I'll upload a udev using the fake-udev --package as suggested.

(LP: #745011)

Found the issue.
Apparently on upgrade udevadm isn't actually updated (as in, we still have the
old binary).
On my laptop, with a clean Natty 64bit install:
root@castiana:~# debsums -sa udev
root@castiana:~#
root@castiana:~# md5sum /sbin/udevadm
848c4c6c4368d5a0ca84b7b763d7ddfb /sbin/udevadm
Ok, so quickly going through the postrm, preinst and postinst script,
assuming a working scenario (the upgrade doesn't get cancelled):
postrm: Nothing happens
preinst: disable_udevadm (diverts the OLD udevadm to /sbin/udevadm.upgrade,
then puts a shell script to replace udevadm)
postinst: remove
I reproduced udev's postrm,preinst,postinst scripts in a test package
and found nothing weird in dpkg-divert's behaviour there.
I also tried reinstalling the udev package with a --reinstall --purge
but that doesn't help:
root@stgraber-upgrade:~# apt-get install --reinstall --purge udev
