[Pkg-aide-maintainers] Bug#506747: udev causes several hundred lines of noise

[Guido Günther]

Package: aide
Version: 0.13.1-10
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hi,
after every reboot aide reports >400 changed files. These have the form:

changed: /dev/.udev/names/vcsa6/\x2fclass\x2fvc\x2fvcsa6

since recent udev stores the path to the devices sysfs representation
there. Attached patch fixes this by escaping the backslashes in the
find expression of 70_aide_dev properly. Additionally it escapes dots to
not cause false matches.

The bug probably deserves higher severity since it makes aide mostly
unusable in lenny on systems using udev.
Cheers,
 -- Guido
