[solved] udev conflicts with initscripts. Remove initscripts

I have just did a fresh install of Archlinux 2009-02 i686

After setting up the network I updated the pakages by
$ pacman -Sy

The I wanted to install hal

$ pacman -S hal
it gives the following message
: : udev conflicts with initscripts. Remove initscripts [Y/n]

I selected Yes  and hal was installed

Later when I wanted to add hal in the deamons in rc.conf. the file /etc/rc.conf does not exit instead i found /etc/rc.conf~

I copied rc.conf~ to rc.conf and added hal in deamons. Later when I restarted the the boot process stopped at
Enter the init leve
I enter 1 or 2 or 3 nothing happened

Then I have again reinstall fresh arch linux

Again the same thing comes when I do pacman -S hal

this time i didnt select anything and stopped the command

How to resolve this

This is related to http://www.archlinux.org/news/454/

You should have done a full system upgrade (pacman -Syu instead of -Sy) to upgrade both udev and initscripts to their latest versions. The initscripts package is essential for booting and you should never remove it.

Re: [solved] udev conflicts with initscripts. Remove initscripts

Do not use just "pacman -Sy".   Always update your system along with the package database with "pacman -Syu".

To fix this, you need to boot from the install CD, mount your partitions and install initscripts.

Edit: man I was beaten to the answer there...  should have pushed submit before I walked away tongue

I solved it by
installing the latest verison of initscripts
and then updated the udev

Now it doesnt show the message

but if I do pacman -Si udev

it shows conflicts with initscripts

Re: [solved] udev conflicts with initscripts. Remove initscripts

Conflicts With : initscripts<2009.07

Notice the "<2009.07" with that conflict.  That means that latest udev has issues with earlier initscripts and not the current version.

Yup, you should fully update your system. I had that issue and the system update fixed it.
