Description Mark R. Pariente 2004-10-09 17:30:33 UTC

emerged udev 0.34 hal 0.2.98 , both of them emerged for the first time (not an update). Hal can not find many devices, because it is unable to find the 'udevinfo' application.

This is from HAL cvs, linux/common.c:

char *possible_paths[] = { "/sbin/udevinfo",
      "/usr/bin/udevinfo",
      "/usr/sbin/udevinfo",
      "/usr/local/sbin/udevinfo"
   }; 

whereas the udev 0.34 ebuild installed udevinfo at /bin/udevinfo. HAL is unable to find udevinfo and is not able to identify many devices.

Creating a symlink /sbin/udevinfo -> /bin/udevinfo solved the problem instantly.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge udev 0.34 and hal 0.2.98, hal-device-manager
2. run udevd, dbus, hald
3. run hal-device-manager

Actual Results:  
Almost all devices (cd-rw, floppy etc.) are missing in hal-device-manager

Expected Results:  
Devices should be there, the /sbin/udevinfo symlink fixes HAL, and all devices
are found. udev should install udevinfo to a path HAL expects.

Should now be fixed with udev 034-r1 release.
