Installing libudev-dev on Debian

Hi David,

Hi Folks,

I am having a problem installing libudev-dev on my BBB Rev C running the
image "bone-debian-8.4-lxqt-4gb-armhf-2016-05-13-4gb.img" (Note that I run
off of the SD card since debian is too big for the emmc on the board.)

When I issue the command

sudo apt-get install libudev-dev

from the command line, I get the following error

Reading package lists...
Building dependency tree...
Reading state information...
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
ifupdown : Breaks: systemd (< 228-3~) but
215-17+deb8u4rcnee1~bpo80+20160313+1 is to be installed
libpam-systemd : Depends: systemd (= 230-7~bpo8+2) but
215-17+deb8u4rcnee1~bpo80+20160313+1 is to be installed
udev : Breaks: systemd (< 224-2) but 215-17+deb8u4rcnee1~bpo80+20160313+1
is to be installed

It looks like udev requires versions of ifupdown and libpam-systemd that
will break systemd.

How do I get around the problem. I need to compile code that makes use of
libudev-dev include files and libraries.

The issue you are seeing, is that we've added the recently backported
version of systemd (230 vs 215) to our beagleboard.org debian jessie
repo:

https://packages.debian.org/jessie-backports/systemd

Since one of the systemd 230 dependices requires another tool to be
installed, for a full update via:

sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Then "libudev-dev" will correctly install.

Regards,
