Hm, there's not been any updates for slack since then? (note, > there was no 0.26 release, there are no '.' in udev releases.) > > Any Slackware users want to pester them for updates? Remember this is Slackware 10 here I am talking about - Slackware 10.1 has been released since, that uses as stock udev 50. Slackware current uses udev 54. Trouble is here also, GLIBC has been updated in latest Slackware[s], so there is no real upgrade path for Slack 10 users other than the whole caboodle - which breaks a lot if you have all the latest 'other stuff' built from source anyway. I guess many users don't upgrade all the system like I do to find these problems. This appears to be just a gotcha for old Slackware 10 users like me. Sometimes you read stuff about doing an upgrade, and unless it pokes yer eye out with a big stick you miss it... so it is isn't a big deal as long as people know about it - it's an easy fix.
