Upgrades prevented by libudev / eudev issue (pkgs depend on libUdev*)

[Member wildstar84]

I’m starting to encounter more of your nosystemd packages that depend on libeudev1, whereas I have libudev1 installed. I don’t have any pbm. with the idea of replaceing udev w/eudev, except that I have a cpl. development pkgs that list libudev as dependency. In particular: libsdl2-dev, libsndifsdl2-dev, and libudev-dev. Since Antix has switched to libEudev now, could you start providing versions of these packages that would use and depend on Eudev and friends instead? I’m assuming that I could then replace Udev* w/Eudev*, reinstall these sdl2* pkgs to the new “eudev-dependent” versions I’m requesting, and then again be fully Antix-kosher and able to then continue upgrading the other nosystemd pkgs that now cant be upgraded, for example xserver-xorg-core, virtualbox, et. al. I’m using the testing repos.

Thanks,

Jim

Replacing eudev shouldn’t cause any issues with using

these sdl2* pkgs

Be specific about which packages depend on libudev1 (libeudev1 should be a drop-in replacement and not cause dependency issues)so I can test on this box

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

I listed TWO: libsdl2-dev (v2.0.8+dfsg1-1) and libsndifsdl2-dev (2.0.8+dfsg1-1) (latest testing)!

Here’s what’ll happen if I try to install Eudev and friends:

wildstar(ROOT):/home/turnerjw>apt-get install libeudev1
…
The following packages will be REMOVED:
libsdl2-dev libsndifsdl2-dev libudev-dev libudev1 live-usb-maker-gui udev
udisks2 virtualbox-guest-x11 xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-core
xserver-xorg-input-elographics xserver-xorg-input-evdev
xserver-xorg-input-joystick xserver-xorg-input-kbd xserver-xorg-input-mouse
xserver-xorg-input-mtrack xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
xserver-xorg-video-fbdev xserver-xorg-video-intel xserver-xorg-video-vesa
The following NEW packages will be installed:
eudev libeudev1
The following packages will be upgraded:

I have eudev, libeudev1 installed and have no issues when trying to install the 2 dev packages you mention. This is anti-17.1 with eudev default, and nothing installed outside default repos.

So, those packages do not need libudev/udev.

Perhaps post the full output of the upgrade / install. I had a few packages that would be removed but also installed in the same instance. I have also had packages that actually do get removed… taking note of them; any that where later missing would reinstall without issue.

You tried to install libeudev1

On a live-usb antix17, nothing else done than updated,
it makes a big difference if I try to install eudev or libeudev1

RESOLVED!
I went to my “test” system and performed the following steps in Synaptic:

1) Make sure everything ELSE is up-to-date.
2) Installed libgudev-1.0-dev (libgudev-1.0-0 was already installed).
3) Installed libeudev1, eudev, libeudev-dev (all v232:3.3.5.3) Synaptic will say that virtualbox* and xserver-xorg-* will ALSO be upgraded.
NOTE: Select ALL at same time!
NOTE2: The first time you try to hit [Apply], it will complain a/b “broken pkg.” but 2nd time, it works?!
4) Reinstall libsdl2-dev, libsndifsdl2-dev and live-usb-maker-gui, IF NEEDED.
5) Restart X, verify it still worked.
6) Reboot.

Everything worked ok, except get new WARNING on bootup from eudev: “udevd[145]: ignoring invalid mode ‘@GROUP_RENDER_MODE@'”, not sure what it means, but everything udev-related and x-session sharing (xhost +) seems to still be working properly!

I then repeated on my production system and everything went well, except this time, I did not have to reinstall lib*sdl2, etc. as they were not removed this time.

Thanks everyone for your responses.

Jim
