upower: very broken dependencies

upower requires up to date version of libgudev-1.0.0. No apparent error here, but when trying to start /usr/libexec/upowerd you get

/usr/libexec/upowerd: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1: version `LIBUDEV_247' not found (required by /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgudev-1.0.so.0)

The current solution to this kind of error is installing older libgudev-1.0.0 from daedalus, but it conflicts with upower, because it wants the new libgudev-1.0.0.

Why does it happen at all? Any hopes it gets resolved? This is Devuan specific thing AFAIK, see https://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=155394

Re: upower: very broken dependencies

Hello:

Why does it happen at all?

Is this in Daedalus [stable] or Excalibur [testing]?

Because if it is Excalibur [testing], the answer to your question is in the suite's denomination.
ie: this part -> [testing].

Any hopes it gets resolved?

Of course.

It will be unoubtedly solved by the time Excalibur [testing] becomes Excalibur [stable].
Maybe even before that, no way of telling.

Testing is an arduous process which takes both time and manpower, both rather in short supply here at Dev1.

... Devuan specific thing ...

No.
It is just part of/how the release cycle of any non-rolling Linux distribution works.

ie: it is ready when it is ready.

Best,

A.

Re: upower: very broken dependencies

If you are indeed using Excalibur, then this may be a good example of why many people choose to run unstable (Ceres) instead of testing. Either that, or they run a mixed testing/unstable system -- testing with some packages pulled (as needed) from unstable. The latter approach is the one I would probably use if I were inclined to run a "rolling" system, but didn't want to switch to a totally different distro (e.g., Arch Linux).

Re: upower: very broken dependencies

I can not reproduce the error. upowerd on my excalibur works.
