Bug Description

Binary package hint: evms

Dear Colleagues

when I upgraded a root server from dapper lts to gutsy (via edgy feisty) all swap partitions were not recognized anymore, but locked by a not seen process.
All other partition (mdX) were running fine.

After fighting with this problem for some hours, Soren Hansen told me to remove evms* packages from gutsy.

It looks like that evms (even when it's not needed) will catch all unused partitions...

As Michael Vogt told me, this won't happen when someone is using release-upgrader...but I used apt-get dist-upgrade and somehow I have the feeling many people will do the same, using the debian way ;)

Tollef mentioned, that evms is being ran from initial initramfs during kernel boot...so we need something to make sure that this won't happen, when the user who is upgrading is not using evms at all.

Regards,

\sh

Now that we don't support dapper-> X (X != hardy), should we be adding Conflicts to a source package for hardy-updates?
