Old packages

Is there any repository with old(er) versions of packages? I just installed the latest udev (0.57), and it broke my palm-pilot connectivity. It looks like a bug:

...
May  4 10:50:40 HAL udev[8910]: udev_db.c: unable to read db file '/dev/.udevdb/class@tty@ttyUSB0'
May  4 10:50:40 HAL udev[8910]: udev_remove.c: 'ttyUSB0' not found in database, falling back on default name
May  4 10:50:40 HAL visor ttyUSB1: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now disconnected from ttyUSB1
May  4 10:50:40 HAL visor 1-1:1.0: device disconnected
May  4 10:50:40 HAL udev[8929]: udev_db.c: unable to read db file '/dev/.udevdb/class@tty@ttyUSB1'
May  4 10:50:40 HAL udev[8929]: udev_remove.c: 'ttyUSB1' not found in database, falling back on default name
May  4 10:53:35 HAL ohci_hcd 0000:00:02.0: wakeup
May  4 10:53:36 HAL usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 5

I don't have time to investigate into that now, and I'd like to get a previous version of udev that worked fine.

Re: Old packages

Thanks, I managed to solve my issues with udev 0.57. Duplicated rules were the problematic part. The custom palm-rule I used before is now (kindof) included in 0.57.

BTW, the

udev_db.c: unable to read db file '/dev/.udevdb/class@tty@ttyUSB1' 

...is not really an error.

hi, mdk, i got the same problem as well. Which rules are u talking about that are duplicated that caused the problem? Is it possible to fix it in udev 0.58 (the version that i am having a problem with)?
