Bug#830683: Missing dependency on module-udev?

[Patrick Winnertz]

reopen 830683

thanks

I know that this split was done by purpose. However even if the split was done on purpose, this split shouldn't break existing systems - which actually happened. It would be nice if you wouldn't close the bug without actually thinking about a solution for this problem, as this will lead for sure to problems during dist-upgrade later on.


Greetings

Patrick

ps: please don't tell me what's the purpose of a recommendation - i know that. Hower this recommendation breaks existing systems.
