Bug 166445 – sys-fs/udev-104-r9 incorrect paths in udev rules

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: VERIFIED INVALID

[Description chad heuschober 2007-02-12 00:30:26 UTC]

Not sure exactly what's up with it but my udev has been compiling its executables udev_run_devd and udev_run_hotplugd to look in /sbin instead of /lib64/udev/ for related executables (such as ata_id, cdrom_id, etc).

Initially /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev-rules was set by default to look for udev_run_devd and udev_run_hotplugd ALSO in /sbin.

This is a fresh installation without any changes to any config files. I went straight from a vanilla 2006.1 install to an update world.

Dispatch-conf was run and the errant paths to udev_run_devd and udev_run_hotplugd were both corrected in 50-rules-udev. The other paths could not be corrected because they're compiled in.

I'm not certain whether these executables are supposed to exist in /lib/udev/ or /sbin but either way, something is awry.

Reproducible: Always

You failed to run etc-update or dispatch-conf...

# grep sbin /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules
#KERNEL=="dm-[0-9]*",	PROGRAM="/sbin/devmap_name %M %m", NAME="%k", SYMLINK+="%c"
ENV{MODALIAS}=="?*", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe $env{MODALIAS}"
SUBSYSTEM=="pnp", ENV{MODALIAS}!="?*", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'while read id; do /sbin/modprobe pnp:d$$id; done < /sys$devpath/id'"

This 50-udev.rules is /post/ dispatch-conf (like the last one) and /post/ upgrade to -r10.

Again, while the paths in 50-udev.rules are correct, the paths for /lib64/udev/*_id as found compiled into /lib64/udev/udev_run_* are still looking to /sbin.

You may think I haven't run dispatch-conf but I could post a revision history of dispatch-conf runs to prove it if necessary.

We don't install udev_run_* to /lib64; delete those files and re-emerge udev.

<snip>
exeinto /lib/udev
doexe extras/run_directory/udev_run_devd        || die "Required helper not installed properly"
doexe extras/run_directory/udev_run_hotplugd    || die "Required helper not installed properly"
</snip>

# grep sbin /lib/udev/udev_run_*
#

Okay. Problem not solved but confusion is. My scp from the box in question to this one didn't overwrite as I expected. This is the correct rules.

You have stale crap there, delete it. Closing, we don't install such stuff.
