[Karmic] vol_id not found

[plun]

Binary package hint: unetbootin

Error with Karmic after udev and util-linux changes.

Error message during app start:

"vol_id not found. This is required for either install mode.
Install the "udev" package or your distribution's equivalent."

I cannot install package linux-image-2.6.30-5-generic because /sbin/vol_id not found. I tried to install udev but dpkg can't resolve this problem to continue .

vol_id has been dropped in 9.10, blkid is used instead. Concerning unetbootin, see #384369.

[Asif Youssuff (yoasif)]

This bug is affecting me too -- running Karmic.

[Geza Kovacs (gezakovacs)]

I've fixed this as of upstream release 356, Debian unstable should have a package soon (which will fix this bug in the Ubuntu package once it's imported into karmic).

[Geza Kovacs (gezakovacs)]

Should be fixed as of package version 356 in karmic universe repositories.

[Andreas Scherbaum (ads-launchpad)]

How exactly should the fix work?

After breaking my upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10, unetbootin (and all prerequisite packages) was not installed.
I installed the package manually, but still the same error (vol_id not found) occures.
