I running debian/testing on a 32 bit server.
The only thing is that I don't run 'dist-upgrade" regularly due to the
amount of stuff that changes and breaks for no reason, usually at times I
don't have time to deal with it.

So, my udev was out of date for lvm2 and there was a missing package
dependency on minimum version required. However, what I pasted above was
with the latest udev version intesting, so there may be other missing
dependencies or problems.
I don't have systemd on that system, still regular init.

I have sysvinit 2.88dsf-59.2 . Is that too old and causing issues too?

Thanks,
Marc
