No reason, other than I didn't realise that there was a newer version of 
eudev until I started to look into the problems I was having with libgudev.

libgudev I knew had been updated because it was updated on Arch Linux 
but they use systemd and therefore use the systemd-udev package.

I will do an update of eudev to 3.2.12

I have no idea.

The Gnome wiki page for it says

"This library provides GObject bindings for libudev. It was originally 
part of udev-extras, then udev, then systemd. It's now a project on its 
own."

I just looked in the IPFire git repo and found it was introduced in 
December 2022 as being a dependency for libqmi for the 5G and newer 4G 
modems

Adolf.

Someone has tried just changing the version number in the libgudev meson requirements section but then the build fails because there is a new function which has been added in the systemd udev that is not yet in the standalone eudev package.
