Bug Description

Binary package hint: mountall

A common partial upgrade scenario involves a system using mountall and friends, but with jaunty's libudev0. Unfortunately, this results in an unbootable system (even Single User is broken).

This bug can be easily reproduced with "apt-get install libudev0=141-1.2":

root@cnspc18:~# mountall --help
mountall: symbol lookup error: mountall: undefined symbol: udev_monitor_filter_add_match_subsystem_devtype

While #427672 is obviously related, I'm not entirely convinced that my bug duplicates it, as it appears to only fix it in lucid, and AFAICT it still doesn't prevent the mountall package from being installed alongside an incompatible libudev.
