Hello Jaret,

Yes. I am on Debian wheezy. I think I always mention that. :)

The main reason I am insisting to stay on Debian wheezy (while I am
waiting for Devuan) is that, I have a lot of issues using Debian jessie.
Perhaps it has too many "contaminated" packages so I get those issues as
I always pin any packages containing *systemd* to Pin-Priority: -1. If I
would be successful in using eudev on my test PC, I will use it on all
my other installs including the PC I am using now for writing this email.

I still suspect that there seems to be a problem with the install script.

I have done the followings:

1. Upgrade udev to Debian wheezy-backports

    That also pulled libudev1

2. Upgrade the packages below to Debian jessie

    dmsetup, grub-common, grub-pc, grub-pc-bin, grub2-common, 
libcryptsetup-dev, libcryptsetup4, libdevmapper1.02.1, nfs-common

3. Purge libudev0

4. Install eudev package

    The same result as before

Please have a look below for the detail.

I will switch to Devuan merged repository which mostly contains Debian
jessie packages. And I will give the update later on.

Cheers,

Anto
