[Bug 887892] Re: lucid->oneiric upgrades fail udev upgrade: unrecognized option '--convert-db'

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package udev - 175-0ubuntu2

---------------
udev (175-0ubuntu2) precise; urgency=low

  * debian/udev.postinst: Ignore failures of "udevadm --convert-db". This
    option does not exist any more in Ubuntu 11.10 and later, so for upgrades
    from 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS you need to reboot. This doesn't really hurt,
    as there are already two dozen other reasons to reboot after upgrade.
    (LP: #887892)
  * Partially revert r2735 and move the daemon back to /sbin/, to better
    comply with FHS.
  * debian/udev.postinst: Use invoke-rc.d to restart udev instead of
    "restart", to pick up new daemon path. (LP: #889226)
