Hello Jaret,

I decided to continue using dpkg-buildpackage and I managed to have it
compiled. It turned out that I just need to install python3 package from
Debian wheezy repository which also pulled python3-minimal, python3.2
and python3.2-minimal packages. Perhaps it would be better to include
python3 package into the build dependency list.

I am close to be able to use eudev but I still cannot have it installed
properly.

It looks like the install script still fails.

Perhaps I need to use the Debian jessie or Devuan merged packages. Do
you think that is the case?

Or do I need to forcley remove the previous udev and libudev0 packages
first? That will remove important packages though.

root@d945gclf:/home/anto/packages# apt-get purge libudev0

1 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 9,598 kB disk space will be freed.

Abort.

Please don't worry in giving me any suggestions even that will trash my
install as I can recover that very easily.

Cheers,

Anto
